Hell with em, if he wants to play he can go to Japan for one year and probably get one hell of a contract.
I think NPB honors penalties from MLB. I think he would be down to some sort of independent ball if he was going to do that.

I think A-FROID is gonna take his medicine and sit out 2014. I do not think he will not go to Japan. He only needs a handful of knocks to get to 3000 AND he gets 6 Million dollar bonuses for each HR slugger ahead of him on the all time list he ties. I think his ego won’t let him do anything else. He is tuned into where he rates as an all time great in American MLB......in HIS mind. He rates crap as far as I, and other dedicated MLB fans, am/are concerned. This entire steroid/PED thing makes me sick. I have been an MLB fan for a lonnnnnnnnnng time and remember when the worst that came out was that some all star knocked up some chippie or a drunk got blasted off a bar stool by some player. Oh well, PACR in just a few weeks!!
Japan honors MLB drug rules & suspensions.
