From the MLB.com story :

"Rodriguez will forfeit $22,131,147 of his 2014 base salary of $25 million. The '14 Major League season is defined as lasting 183 days, and with Rodriguez suspended for 162 games, he will be paid nearly $3 million for the remaining 21 days."

The actual number he will be paid, assuming the story is correct, is $2,868,852.46.

Maybe he will give it to charity.

Oh for Eric:

That's about as likely as the Great Pumpkin popping out of Linus's pumpkin patch this October and bringing toys to all the good children around the world.

As for getting millions to A-Roid to sit out the year, it is worth every cent.

Oh, uh, almost forgot:
