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

Shyam Das has been the arbitrator for MLB disputes between ownership and labor since 1999, but MLB has informed Das and the player’s union of its decision to terminate Das under the terms of the collective bargaining agreement.

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.

    How is Braun doing this year? Is he clean yet?

    If he wants to stay with the NFL he’ll side with Fidel Goodell.

    Should have put more night-crawlers in his worm offering to Bird Selig.

    Man that ruling really worked out for the MLBPA. Wasn’t this the first time ever Das ruled against the MLB? The Bird better be careful what he wishes for .

    Get fired for doing your job. Makes total sense.

    I’m still looking for a way to redeem all these Paolo points I have. Ever since he was banned it seems like they lost their value faster than the Euro will after Greece defaults and is forced to exit the EEC.

    He overturned Rockies player 100 game suspension last week.
    Last year would have been a good time to be juicing.

  • mmonast

    I wonder if he has any standing for a wrongful termination suit? What the point of having an independent arbitrator if you are going to fire those whole rule against MLB?

    Bacne McHotpiss still has him on his payroll along with some of those undesirables he passed his STI on to. Shyam will survive.

    Braun is still juicing, just newer less detectable substances…
