Meanwhile, A-Rod is battling out a lawsuit hurricane. The one-time highest paid player has reportedly counter-sued Major league Baseball for trying to destroy his reputation and endorsement deals, which is apparently making it very difficult for him to complete the Yankees contract, reports North Jersey News.
The MLB had charged the player for his use of steroids and his attempts to hide basic agreement violations. Responding to the counter suit, the MLB said:
"While we vehemently deny the allegations in the complaint, none of those allegations is relevant to the real issue: whether Mr. Rodriguez violated the Joint Drug Prevention and Treatment Program by using and possessing numerous forms of prohibited performance-enhancing substances, including Testosterone and human Growth Hormone, over the course of multiple years and whether he violated the Basic Agreement by attempting to cover-up his violations of the Program by engaging in a course of conduct intended to obstruct and frustrate the Office of the Commissioner's investigation."
