NEW YORK -- Alex Rodriguezs lawsuit claiming Major League Baseball and Commissioner Bud Selig went on a "witch hunt" to force him from the sport has been moved from state to federal court. Panthers Cam Newton Blue Jersey . Major League Baseball filed a notice of removal Monday, saying claims by the New York Yankees third baseman are governed by federal law. The lawsuit, originally filed Thursday in New York Supreme Court in Manhattan, was assigned to U.S. District Judge Lorna G. Schofield, who joined the bench in December, and U.S. Magistrate Judge Kevin N. Fox. Rodriguezs legal team could file a motion asking that the case be returned to state court. One of his lawyers, Joseph Tacopina, said in a statement that the league "knows that these state law claims properly belong where they were filed, in the New York state court." The legal action comes during a grievance by the Major League Baseball Players Association to overturn a 211-game suspension given to Rodriguez by MLB on Aug. 5 for alleged violations of baseballs drug agreement and labour contract. A hearing began last week before arbitrator Fredric Horowitz. After a week of sessions, three additional days are scheduled starting Oct. 15, and more days may be needed. A decision is unlikely before winter. In his lawsuit, Rodriguez claimed MLB and Selig tried to smear the three-time AL MVP and cost him tens of millions of dollars in an attempt to cover up Seligs alleged past inaction on performance-enhancing drugs. The lawsuit claimed Selig hoped to redeem himself by going after Rodriguez. MLB responded by calling Rodriguezs actions "desperate" and a violation of the confidentiality provisions of the league and unions Joint Drug Agreement. On Friday, Rodriguez sued the Yankees team physician and a New York hospital in New York Supreme Court in the Bronx, claiming they mishandled his medical care during the 2012 American League playoffs by letting him play after failing to inform him that a test revealed an injury to his left hip joint. The lawsuit said Rodriguez then further injured himself, forcing him to suffer hospitalization, disability and emotional distress. During the 2012 post-season, Rodriguez hit .120 (3 for 25) with no RBIs before undergoing left hip surgery in January that prevented him from rejoining the Yankees until August. Panthers Cam Newton White Jersey .Y. -- Dwane Casey admitted hed been concerned about his young Raptors team who had zero experience playing in close-out games -- what awaited them with the vastly-experienced Brooklyn Nets, and how theyd react. http://www.panthersstore.us.com/Black-34-Deangelo-Williams-Womens-Jersey/ . Contract disputes lingered for days, weeks and months in the winter of 2012 and once more in summer of 2013 before the two sides finally compromised on an unhappy middle with a pair of one-year contracts.PARIS - Milos Raonic kept his long-shot hopes of a place in next weeks World Tour Finals alive, beating Robin Haase 6-3, 6-4 Wednesday in a second-round match at the Paris Masters. Raonic, from Thornhill, Ont., has a long way to go if he is to somehow reach the year-end event starting in Monday London, which is limited to the best eight on the ATP Tour. Raonic stands a provisional 11th in the points race and must reach the final at the Bercy arena on Sunday if he is to have a chance to book a ticket to London. He would be the first Canadian to reach the finals in singles play, though Torontos Daniel Nestor has made multiple appearances in the doubles event of the season wrapup tournaments. Raonic finished with 14 aces against Haase and never faced a break point in just under an hour on court. "I felt like I played well," Raonic said. "I executed well and gave myself opportunities on the return side. I was solid with my service games. "But its a long way to go for London, there is a lot more tennis to play. The most important thing is to come tomorrow and give my best effort.&quuot; Canadian doubles veteran Nestor ended his season with a loss alongside Leander Paes, as the seventh seeds went out in the first round to Mexicos Santiago Gonzalez and American Scott Lipsky 6-4, 6-3 in 50 minutes. Panthers Kelvin Benjamin Authentic Jersey. Raonic, playing his first match since losing a Stockholm quarter-final this month, swept through the opening set in 27 minutes. The second set began with a break for Raonic, facing the Dutchman for the first time after Haase split two matches in as many weeks against Canadas Vasek Pospisil. That proved to be enough to ensure victory as Raonic advanced on the first of three match points. Raonic won his 45th match of the season and next face sixth seed Tomas Berdych, who is already in the year-end field. Raonic has won both of his matches against the Czech, most recently last September to take the Bangkok title. "I have to play well in that match," Raonic said. "Ive played well both times Ive faced him, Thats a big necessity for me. I have to play well and create opportunities. I cant change much, just play my way and dictate all I can." ' ' '
