A-Rod's choice: Pay lawyers or secrets come out http://www.csnbaltimore.com/blog/or...yers-or-secrets-come-out?p=ya5nbcs&ocid=yahoo Come on get the secrets out and get that diva A-Rod out of the game forever!! 
"If he resists paying, he will pay anyway and he will suffer," a source told the Daily News. "If he forces people to prove he owes them money, the issues that he discussed with his attorneys will be made public — and Alex doesn't want people telling the truth."
Kinda love lawyers and "legal extortion". Am getting the impression even if he pays, ESPN and what not will be publishing the dirt via "anonymous sources".
Arod has enough money to buy a sweet Carribean island, lay low and relax the rest of his life. After that threat from his lawyers (who BTW kissed his ass to represent him), I'd say "go ahead and lose your 3 mil".

Since when does Loria and mini-Samson care about what happens on the field?
My bad....it revolves around money.. shouldve known.
As much I we miss the Expos, these 2 clowns are Florida's problem

The Rangers have been hit with the injury bug all spring. We will be without our 2nd baseman as well as catcher among others.
Join the club ...
The Tigers are right there with you...
What do you guys think of games playing in Austrailia? I think its dumb to start the regular season in Austrailia then fly back and continue spring training games. Why not finish spring training first, play the Austrailian games and then come back and rest for spring training?
Because they want those teams still still have an opening day at home somewhere around the same time as everyone else. I agree that it is weird to play spring training games after 2 official games are in the books though.
I agree, it's stupid.
This playing games across the seas has got to stop ... NFL as well.
Yasiel Puig...by the sounds of it, the lad's quite the head case. At what point does piece of mine/team surpass on-field results?
This was discussed some on MLB Network the other day.
If he continues not hitting and dumb stuff on the field, there is a possibility that they send him down to the minors ... (riding buses may wake him up)
He'll either come around or they could bench him or send him down, I believe the options were that was discussed.
Of course this has to be done by the Dodgers, not the media.
Fwiw, he's only played about 75 games in the minors ...
are you going to the jays/mets games in montreal tomorrow and/or saturday?
i know the games are on mlb net so wonder if there will be any "loria sucks" signs
According to ESPN, Miguel Cabrera has agreed to terms with the Detroit Tigers on a new 10-year contract that will pay him just under $300M.
Based on a career average of 607 at-bats per season and an average of $30 million annually, Cabrera would earn $49,423 per at-bat.

Taking in to consideration the players age and time left on current contract, this is the most insane contract I can remember.
Mike Trout should send a thank you note at his age he's going to make 35/yr+
The Prince Fielder contract was MUCH worse ...
Thats the player Trout should thank.
At least theres value in the Cabrera deal.
All 10 year deals are dumb, doesn't matter who its with ...
Well worth it !
This is also being discussed in the AL Central thread.
Well worth it? No way. He is 30 now, he might have 5 or 6 good years left. That's it.
