his name showed up, they went right after him and forced his hand into a settlement. And MLB must have had him dead to rights. Speculation is that Arod has been held back from playing with a fake injury because he is doing his own settlement. The rotten thing about all this is, as I mentioned earlier, that players on teams that are out of it are doing settlements. Does anyone not believe Colon is not on something? If his head gets any bigger, his body won't support it. He won't settle. He will utilize his ability to protest the results and finish out the season. And MLB won't be able to name him at all while this goes on. Braun shouldn't have been allowed to shortchange the penalty with a settlement. He should have been smacked with 100 games.
