Report: Showalter, Selig Discuss A-Rod Comments
Posted: Sat Aug 31, 2013 11:24 am
Buck Showalter reportedly spoke with Bud Selig earlier this month in the wake of his comments about Alex Rodriguez.
The New York Times described the talk as "productive."
Showalter had told USA Today Sports that if Selig suspended Rodriguez for the 2014 season, it would be unfair because the New York Yankees would benefit financially. They would not have to pay him his $25 million salary for 2014, saving significant money against the luxury tax and revenue sharing.
Rodriguez was eventually was suspended through the 2014 season. He is appealing the ban.
