Shawn Kelley Files for Arbitration, Threatens to Sue

Right-handed pitcher Shawn Kelley has filed for salary arbitration against the New York Yankees. For weeks, Kelley's lawyers have claimed that he is entitled to a raise under a fair, impartial, arbitration proceeding as outlined in the Basic Agreement between Major League Baseball and the Major League Baseball Player's Association. If Kelley does not receive the raise he demands, however, his legal representatives are prepared to file a complaint in federal district court seeking injuctive relief from the arbitrator's decision.

This is the real story of the Yankees' offseason. It took real courage for someone to report it, finally.

David Boies joins Mark Gellagos on Kelley's legal team. Bud Selig is expected to intervene soon.

Shawn Kelley can do better than David Boies. Did David Boies get Al Gore in the White House? A matter this grave demands better.
