Details of arbitrator Fredric Horowitz’s ruling against A-Rod

As I mentioned earlier, arbitrator Fredric Horowitz’s sealed ruling in Alex Rodriguez’s case was opened when A-Rod’s camp filed a suit seeking an injunction earlier today. You can read the entire 77-page ruling right here (PDF link), but, if you don’t have time, here is a breakdown of the major points from my stomping grounds at CBS. The suit was filed against both MLB and the players’ union, which was necessary if they intend to show the deck was stacked against them. Here is the union’s statement on the suit. What a complete and total mess.
