I understand that and I understand if he is banned for life, the Yanks are off the hook.
What I meant is, if he gets suspended for a year and a half due to PEDs, that in itself should be enough for the team to sever the contract. You'd think there would be some sort of clause that gives the team an out when a player commits a serious crime or serious violation of baseball's rules.
What if a player committed an assault and went to prison for 3 years? Could they just come back after three years and pick up the remaining part of the contract like nothing ever happened? Kinda shocking if the answer is "yes."
