Obviously, the deal wouldn't be great for the players. They'd probably have to give up a lot of their salary, and they would most likely be suspended for awhile, but, they'd still be back eventually.
If A-Roid has done some of the things that have been rumored, then the ONLY thing to do is give him a lifetime ban.
A 1.5 year ban is significant no doubt, and with what would have been a first ballot HOF'er. This ban would exclude MLB from further legal issues, but really ..... if he did these things .... then make this jerk disappear from the game.
Being a Rays fan, the best benefit of the 1.5 year ban is that the Yanks would still have to eat the rest of that ridiculous contract
