Angels owner Arte Moreno isn't certain Josh Hamilton will play for the team again after his latest relapse into substance abuse.
Moreno also says the outfielder's contract contains language protecting the team against a relapse by Hamilton, apparently contradicting his previous statements.

Which is why the story got leaked from "sources" Angeles tried to make public opinion sway the decision so he got suspended and in turn the Angeles could get out of his contract.. That kind of back fired didn't it!??!?!

where does it state that the "language" to get the Angels out of the contract requires a suspension to confirm what Hamilton has already admitted?

Whether contract contains, this supposed clause, wouldn't Fed Law still protect him. Being an addict is a form of disability. I'd understand if he had to lose some salary, but all of it no way. But if it happens file a grievance b/c these PED cheats only lose 80-100 games worth, depending on suspension and Hamilton hasn't/won't
