A-Rod's explosive in-studio interview on WFAN may have just been the introduction. The Yankees star is nearing a lucrative agreement for a book about his feud with MLB, according to the New York Post.
The ruling makes it less likely MLB can use evidence from Sitrick to argue for enforcement of a 211-game suspension it imposed on A-Rod in August for alleged violations of baseball's drug agreement and labor contract. Rodriguez is challenging the suspension.
"We loved Robby. He's a great player," Yankees general manager Brian Cashman said Friday. "We made an offer we were comfortable with making. It fell far short of obviously where Seattle was. So, in terms of respect, they showed a lot more respect financially than we did."
"What I'm thinking about asking A-Rod is, 'Are you guilty?' I want to make it as awkward as possible for him ... He's ripping off the Yankees for $28 million a year. I think it's wrong."

On Twitter, Gammons wrote that he misspoke and called it a "a stupid, poorly worded comp."
