This...
Well, the HQ doesn't know what the hell is going on...
But Alex Rodriguez is now suing Major League Baseball...just mere days after there were protesters supporting him in his quest telling folks he done got screwed and just...wants...to...play...the...sport...he...loves...
*sniff*
A-Rod claims MLB bought the cooperation of the chief witness against him- Anthony Bosch, the head of the Biogenesis clinic. The lawsuit claims that Bosch has been paid $5 million by MLB, according to the New York Times. Rodriguez's lawyers also claim that MLB promised to provide security for Bosch, cover his legal bills and keep him from being involved in any civil case that may evolve from the head-butting that MLB and Rodriguez are doing in arbitration right now.
MLB commissioner Bud Selig was also named a defendant in the suit, but the New York Yankees were not.
Steve Eder's article in the New York Times has all the details...
From Eder:
Rodriguez’s lawyers claim an investigator paid $150,000 in cash for records related to Rodriguez, which were apparently stolen. A portion of the cash “was handed off in a bag at a Fort Lauderdale, Fla., area restaurant,” the lawsuit says.
Well, there you go...
The lawsuit is separate from any other legal action the parties are going through right now...
Here's the paperwork, if you're looking for a good laugh...
And here's A-Rod discussing his 200-plus game suspension and wanting to return last baseball season...
