So MLB should function like the FBI

"In many of the major Mafia cases prosecuted in New York in the last 20 years, our federal government cut deals with murderers, money was paid and testimony was provided by cooperating witnesses who had supposedly been reformed.

The reality is that a number of active and retired MLB players have repeatedly lied, some even under oath, when asked about illegal drug use, and thereby made a complete joke out of the Joint Drug Agreement and our courts."


I think the people at the Daily News have convinced themselves that Alex Rodriguez is an actual murderer.

Matt Williams was just hired as a manager of the Washington Nationals. At the same time, MLB is going after ARod with the same zeal as the FBI goes after the Mafia. This sounds like testimony for the defendant.


"The reality is that MLB investigators — many of whom are former FBI and NYPD police officers — used the same investigative techniques they used for years when they were on the job, chasing con men and criminals.

Sorry, but I don’t see anything wrong with that just because it is A-Rod. In fact, maybe there is something right with it."


Of course that isn't right.

MLB should not be using the same investigative techniques as the FBI and the NYPD.
