(USA As we speak)
According to Newsday’s Steven Marcus
, the a lot anticipated — at least for these concerned — arbitration listening to which is able to mark the start
Alex Rodriguez
‘s appeal of his 211- recreation suspension is slated to start on Monday, Sept. 30, which is someday after the common season is scheduled to end. Marcus provides that the hearing will possible require several lengthy classes before a resolution is met, but that might have gone with out saying.
Of course you’re probably pondering there’s one minor problem that would pop that would throw an enormous wrench in these plans, and you’re correct, the New York Yankees are solely 2 ½ video games again in the wild card race getting into Saturday and will still play their way into the postseason. In keeping with Andrew Marchand ESPN New York, if that situation performs out the listening to would then be postponed to a later date.
Here’s slightly extra data from Marchand’s report:
A supply mentioned the hearings are expected to happen in New York. An announcement on whether or not Rodriguez’s suspension — stemming from the Biogenesis and performing-enhancing drug scandal — is diminished is not anticipated until after the World Sequence.
At least A-Rod wouldn’t have to drive far after cleansing out his locker.
A decision may end up being pushed back into the center of November if the Yankees have been to play their means into the fall basic. It might not appear probably, however it’s a minimum of potential. As Marchand notes, if it gets to that point, that would significantly alter the Yankees offseason plans.
The timing of [arbitrator Fredic] Horowitz’s decision could have an effect on the Yankees’ offseason plans. Group owner Hal Steinbrenner has made it a goal to drop the Yankees’ payroll underneath $189 million to benefit from revenue sharing and luxury tax advantages from the current collective bargaining settlement.
Basically all we realized on Friday is that each one parties would like to get the listening to started at the soonest attainable time, which is where Sept. 30 is available in. However it’s all written in pencil and the situation will stay fluid based mostly on how the rest of the 2013 season performs out. So let’s says the Yankees have been to play in a tiebreaker game on Sept 30. and lose, the listening to might only be pushed again in the future. If they lose within the wild card sport, maybe two or three days. And so forth.
In other words, keep tuned, because the schedule and story is always topic — if not assured — to alter when A-Rod, the Yankees and MLB are involved.
