Good riddance, A-Rod.

A few days ago, the news broke that Major League Baseball is looking to suspending the Yankees rehabbing third baseman, Alex Rodriguez, for possibly 100 games. When I first heard of this, I thought that we might never see A-Rod in pinstripes again.

Earlier in the year, when the story broke that Rodriguez needed hip surgery and his recovery time may not have prohibited him from even returning this season, I speculated if you had seen the last of Alex Rodriguez as the starting 3rd baseman for the New York Yankees.

Now I'm starting to get the feeling that we actually might never see him again.

At the moment, the Yankees already have much more liable options at the third base position. Kevin Youkilis for at least this year gives the Yankees a better defensive option, as well as with the bat. Although his plate production hasn't been great since coming off the DL, Youkilis was one of the Yankees better hitters before suffering a back injury in April.

If Youkilis isn't a Yankee when 2014 rolls around that's fine. The Yankees have other options, including rookie David Adams, who's performance on defense and at the plate have been very exceptional since his call-up in mid-May.

When the Yankees gave A-Rod a massive 10-year, $275 million contract in 2007, many believed that the Yankees lost their minds. In 2007, A-Rod put together a season that shut up a lot of critics, but postseason success never carried over and that's what killed A-Rod overall in New York.

If you've ever wanted to know how to get New York sports fans to hate you, having you name related to using steroids is a good way to start. When A-Rod's names came up in the 2007 Mitchell report, his image became quickly taunted.

Now being related to steroids/HGH for the 2nd time in this career with the Biogenesis scandal sweeping the baseball world, fans now have more reason's than ever the call Rodriguez a cheater, a liar, and a fraud.

Of course we all know that there's no way the Yankees can void their contract with A-Rod. Not many, if any, teams would even take the chance on a declining third baseman, who's owed a lot of money and is coming off a 2nd hip surgery.

A-rod is still owed over $80 million over the last four years of his contract. I read a column on ESPNNewYork.com that suggested the Yankees should just buy him out and let him go. Not a bad idea. But would the Yankees consider it?

If Hal Steinbrenner was disappointed in A-Rod before, I can't imagine how he must feel now, knowing that he's bringing shame to the Yankee name. He's becoming a distraction to the team and this whole thing is just getting started.

I really don't care if we never see Alex Rodriguez play in a Yankee uniform ever again. As of now, we have another four years of this A-Rod circus the media loves so much.

If the last thing we'll see from Alex Rodriguez as a Yankee is a ground out to the shortstop in game four of the American League Championship Series. Then all I have to say is: Good riddance, A-Rod.
