Alex Rodriguez will sit out the entire 2014 season for violating Major League Baseball’s performance-enhancing-drug policy, after an independent arbitrator reduced his original 211-game ban on an appeal.
An arbitration panel led by Fredric Horowitz yesterday notified both MLB and its players union that it reduced the longest drug-related suspension in MLB history, given last year to the New York Yankees third baseman. Rodriguez is the sport’s highest-paid player.
