2016 MLB thread. THE CUBS HAVE BROKEN THE CURSE! Chicago Cubs are your 2016 World Series champions

[madj55]

Baseball has lost every case in federal court. Their track record is bad. I'm not going to say he's going to win but I think he has a great chance.

They did a lot of shady things to get Alex. Alex might lose the battle but MLB will lose the war. MLB paid for Bosch's court and lawyer fees. Also paid over 150K in cash and never filed it which is illegal. MLB, also knew about Boscho's clinic and supplying minors with these drugs and ignored it while hunting down Alex.Tracked down ex employees and the clinic and paid cash for evidence and their testimonies. He's never had one official failed drug test which makes it seem like they're singe him out. Bud and his peers have repeatedly broke many laws to get him and Alex has like five different of the best lawyer fees in this world. I think he knows he's going down but he's going to expose MLB and make them look just as bad. There was also some shady stuff with the Arbitrator and Selig but I can't remember what that situation was.

I look forward to this case and Bud Selig going down

THIS.

No way this goes to court or ARod wins. You can't bargin and shorter suspensions, have both sides agree on it, THEN take it to court. If ARod really wanted to take it to court, he wouldn't have settled got 162 and continued to fight it. You can say about the can of worms it would open on MLB, but ARod also docent want his personal can of worms open to public court. It would destroy his imagine even more.

 

[SoleByThePound]

From everything I've read today, people seem to think there is a 0 percent chance that happens.

Oh you're an attorney? Didn't realize you read what attorneys are saying. I am more than certain A-Rod's legal team is going to come out victorious on this, watch.

The problem with that is when leagues have CBAs the courts don't get involved. Yeah it looks bad that MLB paid for Bosch's lawyers but so did A-Rod. He paid a $25,000 retainer for a lawyer to represent Bosch and then wired her another $50,000 that she returned cause she said she wasn't representing him. A-Rod is fighting a losing battle no matter how you look at it. Its gonna be difficult if not impossible for him to get a court to take this case. If the case is heard, A-Rod would have to argue that the arbitrator was wrong and wasn't impartial. That's gonna be difficult. Horowitz is one of the most respected arbitrators and most judges are gonna take his side over A-Rods. Saying a judge does take A-Rod's side, Horowitz's reason for his decision that is private is now opened and it surely isn't going to be in A-Rod's favor. If all of that is heard, its gonna come down to Bosch's testimony. A-Rod's side is gonna try to say he's lying but MLB could call all of the other players that were suspended to testify and ask them questions. I'm sure MLB would have no problem getting immunity for the players to testify honestly without incriminating themselves. But they would give Bosch and his testimony credibility. Everything is basically on baseball's side.

 

[SoleByThePound]

You do realize that A-Rod is going after MLB's "procedural due process"? This isn't about getting the arbitrator's ruling overturned, it's about going after MLB and their illegal due process. They will sue MLB for damages and win. A-Rod will not only seek his salary for the 2014 season, he will also get enough in the settlement to pay for legal fees. What I am more interested in is if the Federal Government will finally decide to re-evaluate the Anti-trust laws that MLB is clearly in violation of still.

 

[phillyzphan]

Actually he's going to court on Thursday according to his people to get the ruling overturned and in the mean time get an injunction until the case is heard allowing him to continue playing.

Actually that's the first step that needs to be taken in this case; the actual case that will be heard in front of a judge will be based on exactly what I said earlier.

 

[SoleByThePound]

Then you should know better.

 

[jewbacca]

The process is collectively bargained (entering into a contract). The court has no substantial interest in getting involved because there nothing illegal being done here.

Edit: I do know better haha

His legal team is going after the process. There is no need to keep going back and forth; you tend to believe his team doesn't stand a chance to win and I believe the exact opposite. I'll revisit this thread once a decision in the court has been made.

You realize A-Rod and all other players agreed to the process, right?

The court doesn't care if it's unfair.

But you do understand that the process and the way MLB handled pretty much everything was illegal. From leaking court documents and illegally obtaining evidence/witnesses. I'm not saying Alex wins but Alex doesn't care about his image and MLB will come out looking real bad. Alex already looks bad to most people. Another problem is a lot of these reports and articles you read are biased and paid for by MLB. It will be a fun **** storm to watch unravel.

Sole By The Pound, you know your ****

 

[onewearz]

20/20 interview about arod is on now .. interested in what comes out ...

 

[osh kosh bosh]

Tony Bosch is a classic rain maker, if it rains he takes credit, if it doesn't rain you didn't take it right, this CNN piece is nonsense.

Y'all believe this stuff too man...

 

[Hahahaha]

Bosch is a real pile of ****. Just looking at this guy.

I love how 60 Minutes is matching up certain text messages with big games he had. What about all those games Alex went 0-4, he didn't follow the same protocol that Bosch said was so successful?

[Hahahaha]

Bud Selig's interview is priceless. This ******g guy. A true ******g crook.

 

[osh kosh bosh]

MLB BOUGHT DOCUMENTS FROM ***** NAMED "BOBBY" FOR 125K AND THEY EXPECT ME TO BELIEVE ANY OF THIS ****.

 

[Hahahaha]

I can't wait for Selig and his flunkies to eat ****. They're so damn corrupt it's disgusting.

 

[onewearz]

wow that made mlb look bad ..

 

[madj55]

**** Bud Selig. Can't wait til he's out of the game next year.

 

[mr marcus]

I can't wait for Selig and his flunkies to eat ****. They're so damn corrupt it's disgusting.

Of course they're crooks...media never exposes the corrupt practices

 

[7thave btn 31stn33rd st]

As soon as Bosch started talking about giving Alex gummies of PEDs that would last for the duration of the game, I changed the channel. You have got to be kidding me.

 

[615 I Be Kickin Her Out]

Did anybody catch it when Bosch said he was offered money to leave town and a trip to Colombia??

You already know how that was going to go down.
