The appeals process could take months and if the suspension is upheld A-Rod could miss games into the 2015 season.
Alex Rodriguez appeared to be working out at the closed stadium in Trenton and taking batting practice.
Commissioner Bud Selig is ready to slap Alex Rodriguez with 214-game ban on Monday, according to multiple reports.
Monday's decision by baseball Commissioner Bud Selig will define A-Rod's career, overshadowing his 647 home runs.
"It's like I'm Al Capone or something," Rose said. "But guys are starting to come back to my side now because they see what is happening in baseball. Guys are doing things that alter records and they get 65 games. I got 24 years."
Yankees fan Matt Kowalski made the short trip to Arm & Hammer Park, hoping to catch one more look at Alex Rodriguez. Kowalski got to see what he wanted -- Rodriguez homered Friday night for the Trenton Thunder.
Pressure to get suspensions over with before the playoffs could force an end to negotiations in baseball's latest drug scandal. MLB is expected to announce its suspensions on Monday, according to WFAN baseball insider Jon Heyman.
No one is shedding a tear for A-Rod. Whether he misses 150 games or two seasons, engages himself in a long, bitter legal fight or finds himself with a Pete Rose-like lifetime ban, it doesn't matter. His reputation cannot be restored.
If Rodriguez is indeed banned for life, the Yankees will likely be freed from the roughly $100 million that he's owed until his contract expires in 2017. Texas, on the other hand, would still be on the hook, according to the Dallas Morning News.
Rodriguez will start a second minor league injury rehabilitation assignment on Friday, hoping to return to the Yankees before any ban by MLB.
How did we end up here? How did we get to the point where a minor league game in August could be the last chance to see one of the greatest players in baseball history?
With Michelle Beadle filling in for Boomer, Al Dukes saw to it that at some point during today's radio program, he would be front and center.
Alex Rodriguez played in a simulated game Thursday, probably the last step before the New York Yankees send him on a second minor league injury rehabilitation assignment — if he's not suspended first.
We aren't angry at A-Rod because he makes the most money, but because he told the most lies. His montage of malfeasance is galling even by our subterranean standards.
Alex Rodriguez might not make it back to the Yankees this year. Or ever. MLB is threatening to kick A-Rod out of the game for life unless he agrees not to fight a lengthy suspension for his role in the sport's latest drug scandal.
"If (Commissioner) Bud (Selig) lets them get away with that, they're under the luxury tax," Showalter told USA Today Sports. "If they can reset, they can spend again and I guarantee you in two years Matt Wieters is in New York."
MLB has told the union which players it intends to suspend in its drug investigation. Three-time MVP Alex Rodriguez is on the list, according to CBS News.
"I've got my own feelings on particular people in MLB, you know, how they approached my situation," Roger Clemens said. "I don't know about it, and I don't care about it, to tell you the truth."
Do something for the fans, the ones who faithfully come out and sit in those expensive seats, whether behind the plate or in the bleachers, to watch this injury-depleted, controversy-entangled team. Do something to show them they count.
It's been a lot to digest -- that's for sure. In question-and-answer form, here is a look at the issues and implications of Major League Baseball's possible suspension of New York Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez.
To let Alex Rodriguez slide is to implicitly say that cheating is rewarded at the highest level of the sport. Major League Baseball must make an example of him.
Whenever Alex Rodriguez speaks, we listen, and his latest quote is guaranteed to dominate the headlines.
"If (A-Rod's team is) going to fight this thing like they claim they're going to," Madden told WFAN radio, "then it's going to get very ugly."
A-Rod may have to start serving a suspension as soon as it is announced rather than wait for a grievance to play out. And merely threatening that position might give MLB leverage to force a deal.
Why the rush? The league apparently wants to give some players the option of serving a 50-game ban before the season ends, the New York Post reported. Just don't expect it for A-Rod.
