Marty34 Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jan 31, 2013 -> 11:47 AM) Yeah, that was fun having Manny on the team shortly after his PED suspension. Fun times Ramirez wasn't a failure because he was a distraction, he was a failure because he couldn't hit. If ARod can't play I don't want them to sign him.

Dick Allen Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 QUOTE (Marty34 @ Jan 31, 2013 -> 05:00 PM) I agree with Littlehurt, if the Yankees owed him $10M there'd be no talk of voiding his contract. I would not be at all surprised if the Yankees hired their own investigators to see if ARod was involved in anything that could get his contract voided. Didn't George Steinbrenner get kicked out of baseball a couple of years for doing that type of thing to Dave Winfield? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Different era, back when MLB had a commisioner who wasn't an ex-owner. Besides, $114M is worth the risk of suspension. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyyle23 Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 QUOTE (Marty34 @ Jan 31, 2013 -> 05:06 PM) Ramirez wasn't a failure because he was a distraction, he was a failure because he couldn't hit. If ARod can't play I don't want them to sign him. Why should we expect anything different from ARod. And ManRam was a distraction from the moment he stepped into the dugout. I prefer no press as opposed to that circus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And not really my point. If they can get out of ARod's contract, then he did something significant enough to void an MLB contract. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bubba Philips Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 QUOTE (Tex @ Jan 31, 2013 -> 07:45 PM) Think he would wear a Sox hat in the HoF? Wasn't it Reinsdorf who tried to place or did place a diminishing skills clause in the big Hurt's contract? We shouldn't judge what other owner's do.

kitekrazy Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 QUOTE (Lamar Johnson 23 @ Jan 30, 2013 -> 02:40 PM) IF the Yankees are successful at voiding the remainder of A-Rod's contract, and IF his surgery is successful (and he passes a drug test(s)), would you take a flyer on him if you were the White Sox? If Jerry Angelo were the GM, this farce would be closer to a reality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't even get this either. When did Angelo do anything like this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
