said by OZZY7:Yeah, I know. The final word was that of the "independent" arbitrator. Sure it was. Selig hid Bond's failed tests and I have no doubt he had his hands on this looney deal too. MLB, can say what they want. They had ZERO interest in a tarnished MVP, especially when Selig and his lot keep braying about how The Steroid Era is over. Bullshit.
Shyam Das has a long and distinguished career as an arbitrator, both for baseball and other industries. He's been doing this for way longer than Bud Selig has been commissioner. He's not about to tarnish his career to make Selig happy. Das doesnt need baseball.
