Handout

Bosch is expected to be the key witness to support the evidence MLB has acquired, according to the New York Daily News. He has been cooperating with the commissioner’s office since last spring, and will corroborate evidence that Rodriguez repeatedly violated the JDA.
Rodriguez and his lawyers plan to attack Bosch’s credibility and cross examine him. Bosch only agreed to cooperate with MLB if the league dropped a lawsuit against him, help cover his legal expenses and indemnify him from litigation that his testimony could cause. Rodriguez’s lawyers will attempt to paint Bosch as untrustworthy because he has been paid off.
