Shut the F*** Up, A-Rod Is Ready to Return
A week after the A-Rod Twitter-gate that led to Yankees GM Brian Cashman to tell Rodriguez to "shut the (blank) up," Alex Rodriguez has been finally cleared to participate in baseball activities.
He will begin his rehab assignment this week in Charleston, South Carolina.
Typically news like this wouldn't draw much attention, but since it's Rodriguez, it's going to garner plenty. While he hasn't played at all this season, Rodriguez has been in the news enough this year.
He has been linked to a Miami based steroid pod, Biogenesis, and is one of many star players who could face a 100-game suspension if MLB digs up enough information to suspend him.
Rodriguez is the ultimate lightning rod. The last time we saw him at Yankee Stadium he was ogling a group of young women near the Yankees dugout during New York's hideous sweep at the hands of the Detroit Tigers.
For a Yankees team that has been struggling of late, adding Rodriguez could be both a great asset and a great cancer. If A-Rod can produce than having him return is defiantly worth it. If not, and Rodriguez just remains the clubhouse cancer than he tends to be, then this Yankees season could spiral out of control real fast.
