<div><b>ITEM</b>

</b></div>
<div>From <a target=_blank href="http://mlb.com/">mlb.com</a>:<br>
<div>
<div>But one thing has become exceedingly clear, based on several published reports this weekend and on Monday: [Alex Rodriguez] soon will be punished by Major League Baseball.</div>
<div>The New York Post first reported Sunday that Rodriguez could be suspended this week as part of baseball's investigation into the now-shuttered Biogenesis clinic, a South Florida operation run by Anthony Bosch, who has cooperated with MLB investigators. Last week, Brewers outfielder Ryan Braun accepted a 65-game suspension -- the remainder of the season -- for his reported involvement with Bosch and Biogenesis</div>
</div>
<div><b>LOSER</b></div>
</div>
<div>Klein Nine. Team's owner comes under increasing League scrutiny after series of questionable deals, including but not limited to his trade to acquire A-Rod while an all but certain suspension looms, then one week later trading away Jhonny Peralta (Y1-$12; career BA of .275, hitting .305 this season with 10 HR and 53 RBI), claiming that he did so because....a suspension looms, as owner <b>PREPARES TO LAWYER UP. </b></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><b>WINNER</b></div>
<div> </div>
<div>USML's Office of the Inspector General. League budget will be increased in off-season to fund and support OIG's investigations and audits as targets, to wit the Klein Nine, <b>START FEELING THE HEAT. </b> </div>
