Suspended Yankees third baseman Alex Rodgriguez abandoned his fight against Major League Baseball on Friday, dropping his lawsuit for tortious interference in U.S. District Court in Manhattan.
Rodriguez also withdrew lawsuits against commissioner Bud Selig and the MLB Players Association, putting an end to his battle to overturn an unprecedented 211-game suspension in connection with baseball's Biogenesis investigation that was reduced last month to 162 games plus the 2014 playoffs by arbitrator Fredric Horowitz.
