ARod To Miss Astros Series, Or Not!

UPDATE:

Both Brian Cashman and Joe Girardi have denied the rumors that Alex Rodriguez has been given permission to skip the final series with the Houston Astros. Alex is expected to be with the team through the weekend until the end of the season.

The Yankees have given Alex Rodriguez permission to skip the Astros series, which starts tomorrow night. Alex wants to get with his legal team in order to go over things before deliberations start on Monday.

I don't feel confident that ARod's entire 211-game suspension will hold up, but I do feel good that he'll at least miss all of 2014. And for a player Alex's age, and history of injury, that could mean tonight will be the last time Rodriguez ever wears a Yankee uniform.

Or at least we can all hope.
