Arod backtracking?

Now he says the suspension is a blessing?

I think that the year 2014 could be a big favor that [Major League Baseball has] done for me because I’ve been playing for 20 years without a timeout. I think 2014 is a good year to rest mentally and physically and prepare for the future and begin a new chapter in my life.”

Good grief.

Sounds like his lawyers have told him that taking it further is A) a fools errand since the arbitrator was binding; and B) could open him up to further penalties OUTSIDE of the baseball world.

or maybe he finally realizes he is an idiot and should stop with all of this nonsense.

Seriously?

What else can A-Rod do? This fiasco has ended his career, and at least he is trying to step away from the game with some form of dignity; no matter how superficial and crooked it is.




I'll just be glad when A-Rod is out of the limelight.

I think A-Rod has finally read the writing on the wall.

Correct.

But why didn't he just shut his trap... It is like he just learned about reverse psychology and he thinks they'll change their minds if they think he is happy about the decision.

A-Rod is arrogant. From my perspective, A-Rod thought he was going to make short work of this case, but it's turned into a debacle (for the better, I think).
