- If they had no idea, I might buy that. Might. But considering they continued to honor the contract after he admitted it, that's taking the - Jim Aug 2, 12:24 15
  - They had no choice but to honor the contract. The CBA won't let them cut him. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 2, 12:25 14
    - This is true, but they could have tried to void the contract then. -- nm - Jim Aug 2, 12:26 11
      - I have no problem with the contract being voided and the Yankees never having to pay him another cent. What I don't think is fair.... - Jim Aug 2, 12:28 10

        In the NFL, it does if the player is murdered. The Skins had to sal-cap Sean Taylor after he was killed - Will Hunting Aug 2, 12:36 6

        I'm only arguing cap dude. I don't think the Yankees should have to pay ARod another cent. I'm with you on that. Void the contract...fuck him. - Jim Aug 2, 12:50 1

        Clearly the Yanks will get it all if he's thrown out. - Will Hunting Aug 2, 12:38
    - well, they could have cut him, but still on the hook for his $. nm -- nm - groiny Aug 2, 12:26 1
      - Right, but who's voiding a contract of a 32yr old MVP level player becuase he admitted to cheating 6 years earlier? - Will Hunting Aug 2, 12:31
- but the player is obligated to try and to not do things that are against the rules of the game. The team didn't give the drugs to him. -- nm - zork Aug 2, 12:19 3
