Selig closes barn door on retired Grimsley
2006-06-12 13:52
by Bob Timmermann

Jason Grimsley was suspended for 50 games by Commissioner Bud Selig today.

However, Grimsley has retired and the suspension would only come into play if he signs with another team. Because I know a lot of teams want a a washed-up 38-year old long reliever who is under investigation by the Federal government. I think the Yankees have a scout who specializes in these cases. The Red Sox do too since they don't want to fall behind.

The suspension does not affect the dispute between Grimsley and the Arizona ownership over the payment of the rest of his salary for this year, which amounts to $527,490.

This just in: Selig has also suspended Mark McGwire for 50 games. And Babe Ruth, just because he could.

King Kelly is worried. So is Jim Creighton.

LOL, love that commment on the Yanks and Sox, though in truth, the Yanks pen is actually not too shabby this year ... as long as someone else but Joe Torre manages it ... the Sox however... is a whole nother story past Papalbon.
