A-Rod鈥檚 lawyers want public hearing
Print Edition
New York Yankees player Alex Rodriguez’ lawyers on Monday asked that the remainder of his grievance hearing that contests his 211-game drug suspension be opened to the public.
Rodriguez’ legal team called a 5pm news conference on Monday that was called off with lawyer James McCarroll saying arbitrator Fredric Horowitz issued an order restraining them from “conducting any press conference or briefing regarding the subject matter of the hearing.”
Rodriguez’ lawyers said they have evidence from a “whistle-blower,” but would not say whether the individual worked for Major League Baseball, one of its teams or some other affiliate. Rodriguez’ attorneys repeatedly have complained about MLB’s doping investigation, describing it in a lawsuit as a “witch hunt” and alleging MLB paid for information and intimidated witnesses. Both sides have accused each other of leaking confidential information. MLB has denied any improprieties.
One person familiar with the day’s developments, speaking on condition of anonymity because no additional statements had been authorized, said a MLB employee had written to Rodriguez’ lawyers expressing unhappiness with MLB’s investigation methods.
One of A-Rod’s lawyers called for MLB and the players’ association to open the hearings to the public and release transcripts of the eight days of sessions thus far.
