Roberts' deal was agreed to on Dec. 17 and finalized Tuesday, three days after a spot on the 40-man roster opened when Alex Rodriguez was suspended for the season for violations of baseball's drug agreement and labor contract.
According to a number of published reports prior to Monday's filing, A-Rod's lawyer, Joe Tacopina, said that A-Rod's legal team would be filing for an injunction. Apparently, no motion papers for an injunction were filed Monday. Why not?
"I don't know why he's being so stupid," Bradshaw told Joe & Evan. "But then again, he's stupid. He took that stuff. Why, I have no clue. And he got caught. Say 'I'm sorry' to the world, and you deserve your punishment."
Confused about anything? We've got you covered. Here are five things to know about the complaint filed Monday in U.S. District Court in Manhattan.
Mark Teixeira thinks the Alex Rodriguez situation is a lose-lose for everyone involved. "Alex doesn't win, MLB doesn't win, the Yankees don't win," the first baseman said Monday.
Former Mets reliever Jon Rauch blasted Alex Rodriguez on Twitter for filing a lawsuit against the Major League Baseball Players Association, saying the 14-time All-Star has run out of people to blame.
Boomer and Craig began Tuesday's radio program the only way they really could -- by discussing the latest scuttlebutt from the ongoing saga that is the life of Alex Rodriguez.
Rodriguez in his suit claimed the Major League Baseball Players Association "completely abdicated its responsibility to Mr. Rodriguez to protect his rights."
Joe Tacopina suggested Monday that A-Rod -- who is suing the league for what he calls a witch hunt -- could file "additional actions" and defamation lawsuits based on assertions made by Anthony Bosch and MLB's COO.
By now you probably know about the virtually impossible legal hurdles that A-Rod has to jump over to get a stay or an injunction or, eventually, an elimination or reduction of that season-long suspension.
Whatever synapse says "stop" never found its way to Rodriguez. Among the myriad malaprops and missteps, he never knew when to say when. And that is what killed what should have been a dream life.
Major League Baseball's key witness in its case against Alex Rodriguez said he designed and administered an elaborate doping program for the 14-time All-Star starting in 2010.
Of all the holes the Yankees have filled and still need to address, third base is not one of them. Assuming his health cooperates, Rodriguez will be in pinstripes again. This year. Not next.
First up was the low-hanging fruit that is one Alex Rodriguez, as the Dynamic Radio Duo navigated their way through the multiple layers of the ongoing saga, before briefly touching on the NFL action...

Yankees fans have mixed reactions to an arbitration ruling that banned Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez for 162 games.
The Yankees have $22 million extra to spend, which comes at the right time for the Bombers -- as they're targeting Masahiro Tanaka.
An independent arbitrator ruled Saturday to ban A-Rod for a full season, including the playoffs. "The number of games sadly comes as no surprise, as the deck has been stacked against me from day one," Rodriguez said in a statement.
WFAN host Mike Francesa says he expects Alex Rodriguez and his legal team to continue fighting the 162-game and postseason suspension.
The Yankees have to be thrilled that they won't have to deal with the distraction that would have come with Alex Rodriguez every waking second of next season. And, oh yeah, they just got an additional $25 million to play with, too.
Alex Rodriguez is ready to round third and head for court if he doesn't like an independent arbitrator's decision on his 211-game suspension, according to the New York Daily News.
It seems we'll have at least one more weekend to debate the Alex Rodriguez case. An arbitrator's decision on A-Rod's 211-game suspension "probably won't be known until next week," according to the New York Post.
