A-Rod the third baseman for the New York Yankees, was suspension for 211 games for alleged used of an illegal performance-enchancing substance back in 2013. Well, he is back for 2015 training camp and the Yankees owe him $64 million in guaranteed salary along with a so-called 'marketing bonuses' if he is able to tie Willie May's 660, Babe Ruth 714, or Hank Arrron 755. Each tie is worth $6 million for the home run milestones. The Yankees, on the other hand, don't accept his apologies, and aren’t interested in paying for his achievable bonuses. They now realize they are really playing with a 24 man roster and one very expensive benchwarmer (LOL). The club is planning on going to court with A-rod if he files a Grievance with the Supreme Court. However, if the yankees try to avoid paying A-Rod his bonus(s) when they are due after having prior knowledge of the issue, A-Rod gives a legitimate reason to sue.

Wow 64 million dollars in bonus back pay !!!!? sign me up! I'll sit on the bench every game annnnd be the towel girl.(for a small fee of course)I think A-rod has a legitimate case on his hands.. He'd be crazy if he didn't fight for 64 million dollars.
Does Alex Rodriguez's contract allow him to score homeruns with a different team and still collect the 'marketing bonus'?
I would imagine that his lawyer or whoever helped him set up his contract in the first place would have it tailored around the assumption that he could be using PEDs.
Alex Rodriguez was a big money maker for the Yankees and this case looks somewhat similar to how Charlie Sheen was kicked off of Two and a Half Men despite having an ongoing contract because the director felt it was morally wrong to support his drug habits.
