HAS MANNY RAMIREZ VIOLATED HIS MORALS CLAUSE?
Yesterday, we was quoted upon interest of SportsJudge in a Wall Street Journal about fantasy disputes which have arisen from Manny Ramirez’s drug-related suspension.
Today, Eriq Gardner of The Hollywood Reporter contacted me about a genuine universe subject stemming from this mess: whether a Los Angeles Dodgers could recover Manny Ramirez for breaching his dignified clause.
Specifically, Section 7(b) of a Major League Baseball Standard Player Contract states as follows:
The [Major League Baseball] Club might cancel this stipulate … if a Player shall during any time … fail, exclude or slight to heed his personal control to a standards of great citizenship as well as great sportsmanship or to keep himself in first-class earthy condition or to conform a Club’s precision rules.
Indeed, this denunciation is rather ambiguous. It is additionally not all together transparent how it relates in as well as with a specified drug-related suspensions set onward in baseball’s common negotiate agreement.
However, it seems during slightest probable which a Dodgers have been inside of their rights to blank a residue of Manny’s stipulate … during slightest after Manny’s 50-game cessation expires.
