Posted: Fri Nov 27, 2015 12:50 amNEW YORK -- Major League Baseball is seeking a speedy dismissal of New York Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguezs lawsuit challenging a season-long suspension. Howard Ganz, an MLB lawyer, said in a letter to U.S. District Judge Edgardo Ramos that Rodriguezs claims do not come "remotely close" to what is needed to overturn an arbitration decision in federal court. Ganzs letter, dated Monday and filed Tuesday, said the lawsuit should be tossed because a court is not empowered to re-examine the merits of an arbitration decision. Ganz said in the letter that the standard for vacating an arbitration award "is purposefully high and specifically designed to prevent courts from substituting their own judgment for that of the labour arbitrators selected by the parties." "A court must confirm an award even when the arbitrator has offered only a barely colorable justification for the outcome reached, and even if the court considers the arbitrators interpretation of the contract to be plainly wrong," he wrote. Rodriguezs claims in his lawsuit were considered by the arbitrator and resolved based on evidence and arguments, along with the arbitrators interpretation of collectively bargained agreements, Ganz said. He also noted that Rodriguez did not deny engaging in the misconduct that was alleged during the arbitrators hearing or in his lawsuit. Ramos set Feb. 14 for a conference and directed lawyers for Rodriguez to respond to the leagues claims in a letter of their own by Feb. 7. MLB suspended the three-time AL MVP for 211 games last August, and the players union filed a grievance. Arbitrator Fredric Horowitz on Jan. 11 cut the suspension to 162 games and the 2014 post-season, concluding Rodriguez used banned substances each year from 2010-12 and twice tried to obstruct MLBs investigation. Rodriguez did not testify in the grievance proceeding, walking out after Horowitz refused to order Commissioner Bud Selig to testify. Rodriguez sued MLB and the Major League Baseball Players Association on Jan. 13 to overturn the decision. He accused the league of engaging in "ethically challenged behaviour" and leaking information to the media in violation of baseballs confidentiality rules. He also accused Horowitz of acting "with evident partiality." His lawsuit accused the players union of "bad faith," saying its representation during the hearing was "perfunctory at best." In a footnote, Ganz wrote that the players union plans to seek dismissal of the claim that it breached its duty of fair representation and said the league will join in that application to the court. Lawyers for Rodriguez and the players union did not immediately respond to a message seeking comment.

Five-time cup winner Sevilla became the nights only topflight team to be upset by a lower-division team when third-tier Racing Santander won 2-0 in Seville to overturn a 1-0 first-leg loss.Top Canadians: Entering his seventeenth CFL season, offensive lineman Gene Makowsky is still one of the best in the business. With Andy Fantuz joining the NFLs Chicago Bears and Rob Bagg likely out for the season, receiver Chris Getzlaf will be expected to take on an even bigger role in the “Canadian Air Force”. Breakout Canadians: Versatile Shomari Williams didnt disappoint after being the first overall pick in last years draft, lining up at both linebacker and defensive end in various personnel packages. Also, look for the role of the fullback to change as Neal Hughes takes over for the retired Chris Szarka. Other Potential Canadian Starters: DT Keith Shologan, DE Luc Mullinder, OT Alex Gauthier, OG Chris Best, OL George Hudson, SB Jason Cllermont, SB Jordan Sisco Canadian To Watch: Before having his career somewhat sidetracked by injuries, receiver Obed Cétoute showed tremendous potential.dddddddddddd. Like Getzlaf, Clermont, and Sisco, he could have an opportunity to shine in the absence of Fantuz and Bagg. Top Canadian Rookies: Look for defensive back Craig Butler and kicker Christopher Milo to make their presence felt on special teams. Milo will get a long look as Luca Congi continues to recover from last seasons leg injury. In The Pipeline: The only prospect for whom the Riders are waiting is 2011 second round pick Matt ODonnell. The big O-Linemans arrival has been delayed by a workout for the NBAs Boston Celtics and the possibility of a post-lockout NFL shot. cheap nfl jerseys cheap jerseys cheap jerseys cheap jerseys cheap nfl jerseys wholesale jerseys ' ' '
