METS PLACE RHP FRANCISCO RODRIGUEZ ON DISQUALIFIED LIST
AND NULLIFY GUARANTEE FOLLOWING SEASON-ENDING INJURY TO THUMB
FLUSHING, N.Y., August 17, 2010 – The New York Mets today announced that they have placed pitcher Francisco Rodriguez on the Disqualified List for conduct in violation of his Uniform Player’s Contract. In addition, the Mets notified the player, his agent, and the MLB Players Association that it has exercised its right to convert Rodriguez’s contract with the club to a non-guaranteed contract.
The Mets’ decision follows the season-ending injury to the thumb on Rodriguez’s right pitching hand as a result of an altercation following last Wednesday night’s game at Citi Field.
Rodriguez will not be paid or accrue major-league service time while on the Disqualified List.
Dr. Andrew Weiland of the Hospital for Special Surgery in Manhattan this afternoon performed successful surgery to repair the torn ligament in Rodriguez’s thumb this afternoon.
Weasels are what the Wilpons are.
This holier than thou attitude comes from saving money, not a moral stance.
Except for the suffering that it resulted in, glad Madoff fleeced them
What was the necessity of getting into bed with him when you have hundreds of millions of dollars?
What earthly good would a few percentage points more do for them?
Had did they get so rich without knowing due diligence 101.
Have to apologize to the real weasels, being associated with the name Wilpon is libelous.
