Up until the recent events, the MLBPA has been very protective about their players. Highly doubt they gave this sort of leverage to the owners. |

I wish contracts could be revoked also so the cheaters that get caught would get really hurt. But they would still try to cheat because the cheating would be a reason to get the big contracts initially. |

Some punishment is better than no punishment. Right now a 50 game suspension when a guy still has 4-5 years left on a $100 million dollar deal is the equivalent of a late mortgage payment. Revoke that contact on the spot and that's a bankruptcy/foreclosure. Yes guys will be shooting up the juice just for the chance of hitting that big pay day. But what good is it to them if the next day signing that deal it can all be gone and more than likely never getting another deal again. |

Name a PED offender that has signed a massive FA deal after getting busted? You think anyone would be signing ARod for top $$$ tomorrow if by some miracle Selig steps in right now and announces his contract null and void? Look what happened to all the PED frauds who went away without a sound: Sosa, Bonds, Palmeiro, M Ramirez, etc |

Andy Pettite signed a 1 year $12 mil deal this year. The Balco scandal was in 2003, a perjury case in 2006, and Bonds was still signed to a 1 year $15mil deal in 2007. |

Exactly true, nobody would give ARod a big deal tomorrow even if he didn't get busted again.

If you're unaware Rodgers and Braun own a restaurant together in the Milwaukee area and are due to open another restaurant soon. This isn't a story about Rodgers however because of his comments and tweets about Braun he's going to have to answer some serious questions. I would guess Rodgers and Braun never discussed the PED's and Rodgers assumed his friend was on the straight and narrow. I can't fault him for looking out for his friend but he didn't have to do it in a public way that would leave Rodgers open to this egg-on-face moment he now faces.

I hate when people turn the other way on certain PED users while demonizing others. Braun was definitely in the former. He still took that stuff whether he was suspended the first time around or not. Glad nobody will be able to question that now.
