Michael Weiner, the head of the
Major League Baseball Players Association, stated today that
any Biogenesis-related suspensions handed down by MLB will be challenged before an arbitrator. Functionally, then, neither
Alex Rodriguez nor
Ryan Braun (the widely rumored 'big kahunas' to be nailed) will have to serve their sentences this year. On top of that, Weiner wants MLB to withhold even
announcing any bans until after the arbitrator (
Fredric Horowitz) upholds the suspensions. What gall! So, the union enablers want reprobates like A-Fraud and Braun to represent
them and the
sport in 2013. How special!
