Alex Rodriguez has been suspended for the entire 2014 season by arbitrator Fredric Horowitz, who handed down a 162-game ban to the New York Yankees third baseman for his involvement in Major League Baseball's Biogenesis scandal. The suspension also includes all potential playoff games in 2014. While the decision is a reduction of the punishment baseball sought, it still could mean the end of Rodriguez's playing career. He will turn 39 in July and, coming off two hip surgeries and a 2013 season in which he played just 44 games, may not be able to return after sitting out an entire season.
