MLB Terminates Arbitrator Shyam Das, Who Overturned the Ryan Braun Suspension

Das most prominently ruled in favor of Ryan Braun in regard to the drug suspension. The lesson here: while the arbitrator is independent, if you make decisions that MLB doesn’t like, you are gone. Don’t feel bad for Das, though. He also works for the NFL as an arbitrator and is scheduled to hear appeals of the Saints’ bounty suspensions.
