Which is basically what you wrote.<br /><br />So it's not a matter of ARod picking a doctor who is disreputable because he would divulge private information, and more about ARod picking a doctor who is disreputable because he would help ARod wage a PR campaign against his own team.<br /><br />We knew the ARod contract was bad when it was signed, but the same way we know all huge free agent contracts are bad when signed: the player will decline and end up getting hugely overpaid in his later years. And when ARod carried the team to a championship in 2009 - after "coming clean" about PED use - I thought those inevitable bad years would be worth it for the good years. Then came the biggest double whammy you can get: a rapid decline combined with another, more serious PED scandal that makes his earlier apologies for PED use essentially a sham. So there will be no good years, and the good years have been retroactively made worse, much like the fourth Indiana Jones movie made it harder to enjoy the first three.

He has limitless resources, yet he sends his MRI to a doctor who goes on WFAN. That's like ARod consulting an attorney about his legal options and the attorney describing the conversation on WFAN the next day. It's a breach of privilege. The doctor is to blame, but ARod chose the guy, apparently without any vetting to determine whether he is a total scumbag.<br /><br />The Yankees' attempt to make ARod the face of the franchise will go down as the worst front office move in baseball history, if it hasn't already.
