A-Rod drops his lawsuit against baseball bringing about the possibility of joining the

BOSTON ROID SOX for the 2015 season!

Alex Rodriguez’s legal team filed a notice of dismissal in his lawsuit against Major League Baseball and the Major League Baseball Players Association on Friday, the deadline for the prosecution to respond to the motion by MLB and the MLBPA to dismiss the case.

That action, initiated by Rodriguez, effectively ends Rodriguez’s fight against his now-162-game suspension for actions connected to the Biogenesis doping scandal and, in turn, brings something resembling closure to the scandal as a whole.

In response to Rodriguez’s decision, Major League Baseball released a statement praising the decision as “prudent,” citing the need to “return the focus to the play of our great game on the field” and “move forward.”

That sentiment was echoed by a statement from the union. Rodriguez’s spokesman, Ron Berkowitz, effectively seconded both statements while adding that Rodriguez’s team has “no further comment.”

But if he can hit, someone is bound to pick him up. With a year to get healthy and strong... who knows.

They have Will Middlebrooks at third, AND the other guy. What would they want with a washed-up, overpriced free agent?

Why would they want a washed up 3rd basemen and clubhouse cancer with almost $100 million left on his contract.
