I LOVE WALTAH!
...and I may not hate Buddy Boy Selig. It appears Bud may approve the restructuring of A-Rod deal that the MLBPA has rejected.
Rob Manfred, baseball's top labor lawyer, challenged the union's interpretation.
"The basic agreement contains a rule that requires any special covenant to be an actual or potential benefit to the player," Manfred said. "In a situation like the current situation, where there was a restructuring, where the player was getting something and the club was getting something, Gene Orza is not the final arbitrator on whether the restructuring provides an actual or potential benefit to the player. The commissioner currently is considering his legal options in consultation with the two teams."
If so, the MLBPA would likely file a grievance and would decided by Shyam Das. Someone needs to find out this guy's address. We need to know where to send our holiday gifts.
