Major League Baseball and the New York Yankees have apparently heard enough public statements from Alex Rodriguez and his lawyers and have rejected 11th-hour requests for private negotiations over a potential suspension, according to media reports.
With MLB poised to levy suspensions against approximately a dozen players pertaining to performance-enhancing drug use, A-Rod has remained defiant while addressing reporters on Friday. After belting a two-run home run for the Double-A Trenton Thunder as he continued to rehabilitate a leg injury, Rodriguez not only insisted he has “a lot more fight” in him but insinuated that the Yankees may even actively working toward having his contract wiped off the books by a suspension.
“There are a lot of layers,” Rodriguez told reporters at Arm & Hammer Park on Friday. “I will say this: There is more than one party that benefits from me not ever stepping back on the field. And that’s not my teammates and it’s not the Yankee fans.”
