A-rod is a man on a mission.
ESPN New York was tipped off that A-rod’s lawyers are preparing to file suit against the Yankees team doctor.
Rodriguez and his lawyers believe they have evidence that supports their contention that Chris Ahmad, the Yankees’ team doctor, misdiagnosed A-Rod’s hip injury during last October’s playoffs. They have yet to file the suit as they continue to put together their case.
The Player’s Association has already filed a grievance on his behalf for what he says was a ‘botched’ hip surgery. Rodriguez battled an ailing hip towards the end of last season, which wasn’t made public until December. He underwent surgery in January, which was performed by Dr. Bryan Kelly.
The suit A-rod’s lawyers are filing alleged that Chris Ahmad knew of A-rod’s need for surgery as early as October 29–the suit also claims Ahmad misdiagnosed his injury following the original MRI on October 11.
A-rod seems to have a legit case to make, but yet again this is just another part of the growing saga.
