Ryan Braun made a deal with baseball and he will sit out the rest of the season before he is allowed to come back to the Milwaukee Brewers and resume his career.
It all sounds ominous, though the Yankees third baseman "has no intention of negotiating a settlement" for his alleged part in baseball's latest PED scandal, according to USA Today.
Matt Kemp, who finished runner-up to Ryan Braun in voting for the 2011 National League Most Valuable Player award, thinks the suspended Milwaukee Brewers slugger should be stripped of the honor.
The Yankees have placed third baseman Luis Cruz on the 15-day disabled list due to a right knee sprain. Cruz has played in 61 games this season for the Bombers.
George Brett raced from of the dugout, his arms flailing wildly after his home run was taken away in the infamous "Pine Tar Game."
Alex Rodriguez hasn't been part of the team. He is not a distraction, but simply a sideshow. It's the only issue of which he is guiltless.
The Yankees captain participated in batting practice, then took grounders at shortstop before Tuesday night's game at Texas. He's eligible to come off the disabled list Saturday.
The Mets released Marcum on Tuesday after receiving confirmation that Marcum was unlikely to pitch again this season.
An MLB source told CBS Evening News' Jim Axelrod that the five-time American League home-run champion could be looking at a lifetime ban. So will the three-time American League MVP cut a deal with the league?
After Alex Rodriguez suffered a quad strain that will prolong his time on the DL, the Yankees received some positive news that helps with their third base and hitting troubles.
Will Alex Rodriguez or any of the other players tied in media reports to the Biogenesis of America clinic get disciplined and, if so, when?
The Mets' Twitter account posted, but then later removed, a tweet on Monday night that seemed to take a shot at injured Yankees Derek Jeter and Alex Rodriguez.
Rodriguez is done. Make it easy on yourself, A-Rod, and go away. Let the pastime shed the past you did so much to stain. On June 6 I called for A-Rod to retire, and was told my logic was laughable. Not so funny anymore, is it?
Two all-time Yankees say they'll back up Alex Rodriguez if he's suspended in the wake of MLB's investigation into Biogenesis and performance-enhancing drugs.
Not only did Braun let down scores of baseball fans Monday, he riled up players all around the majors. The guys who used to be in his corner. The guys who make up the union membership.

With the season nearly two-thirds completed, teams are now focusing their attention on the future. Here are some of the specific factors/questions that need to be considered.
After surrendering seven runs on nine hits in just five innings of work against the rival Red Sox on Sunday night, CC Sabathia is beating himself up following his lousy performance.
With a pair of Grade 1 quad strains between them, the contributions that are expected out of Derek Jeter and Alex Rodriguez are obviously lowered further and delayed longer.
Harvey did something that the two previous Mets All-Star Game starting pitchers, Tom Seaver and Dwight Gooden, were not able to do; win their first outing after starting a mid-summer classic.
The lack of power on this team is staggering. A three-game series at Fenway Park without a single home run? That hasn't happened to the Bombers since 1995.
On Saturday, it appeared A-Rod was on target to return from offseason hip surgery early this week. Now, it's unclear when he might be back.
Mike Napoli hit a three-run shot after the Red Sox fell behind early, then he ended the game with a solo shot with two outs in the 11th inning, and Boston beat the Yankees 8-7 on Sunday night.
Harvey struck out 10 in seven overpowering innings, and David Wright and Juan Lagares each hit a home run.
Yankees Team Physician Dr. Christopher Ahmad revealed that A-Rod has a Grade 1 strain of his left quadriceps.
