Law Firm Settles Suit Against A-Rod, Lawyer Says

A San Francisco-based law firm has settled its lawsuit accusing New York Yankees star Alex Rodriguez of failing to pay legal bills stemming from the Biogenesis scandal, according to a managing partner with the firm.

The suit was settled "amicably" this month, said Peter Siachos of Gordon Rees Scully Mansukhani. He declined to disclose the terms.

The suit had accused Rodriguez of failing to pay more than $380,000 in legal fees.

Rodriguez was suspended for the 2014 season after then-Commissioner Bud Selig concluded he violated the sport's drug agreement and labor contract. Gordon Rees had claimed the firm helped get Rodriguez's original 211-game suspension reduced to 162 games in arbitration.
