UPDATES: 10/7/13, 11:25 a.m. EDT. The names of the full Proskauer team advising MLB have been added to the 16th paragraph of this story. The New York Times reported Saturday that Rodriguez and his legal team are at odds with the MLBPA, which has been kept out of the loop of his litigation strategy. 10/7/13, 5:50 p.m. EDT MLB has filed a motion to have Rodriguez’s suit removed to federal court, according to ESPN.com, which also notes that further proceedings in his arbitration appeal have been delayed until October 15.
Proskauer Rose, no stranger to advising professional sports leagues and franchises, has been retained by Major League Baseball for a scandal-soaked suit filed Friday by embattled New York Yankees star Alex Rodriguez and his lawyers from Reed Smith, Gordon & Rees, and New York’s Tacopina Seigel & Turano.
