New York Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez was not on the list that Rosenthal tweeted out because he apparently will appeal the decision.

**UPDATE**

BREAKING: Alex Rodriguez will be suspended through end of 2014 season. He will be allowed to play until appeal is heard. (via @TJQuinnESPN)

The “official” release of all the players suspended is do to be out at 3pm ET.

Former All-Stars and current scrubs are on the list. Among the surprise names on the list was New York Mets AAA player Jordany Valdespin. The man who declared last year that “I’m the man right now”, is now “the man” alright. The man with a 50 game suspension attached to his name.

Among players accepting 50-game suspensions: #Rangers’ Cruz, #Tigers’ Peralta, #Phlllies’ Bastardo, #Mets’ Valdespin, #Padres’ Cabrera.

Colon, Grandal, Melky get no additional discipline. No violations found for #Nationals’ Gio Gonzalez. #Orioles’ Valencia. They are clear.
