Isn’t he still eligible for arbitration? If so, the Nats can’t release him for anything but a “baseball” decision without triggering an immediate grievance from the MLBPA.

If there wasn’t another off-the-field incident I can think of only one other explanation.
Tom Cruise called the Nat’s front office and told them he just got a red ball with “Elijah Dukes” written on it.

And he was arrested 3 x for battery 1 x for assault. He fathered 5 children by 4 women in 3 years. Got a restraining order against him for threatening to kill his wife. Could it get worse?

Wow, that’s unbelievable. And I thought the behavior he exhibited at the park was bad enough. It’s hard to believe that a team would not want to get as much as they could for a player. But if the Nats cut ties with him simply because they had enough of his over all jerkery, fair play to them and good riddance to him.

PED’s, is there a positive test result about to be released?

While he was good on the field, he is an azzhole off the field. I won’t be a bit suprised when we find out why he was released. I’m sure it’ll be bad. Bad enough for him to be dropped like a hot potato. He’s an idiot with no restraint. He knocked up a 17 year old foster child of a relative, then when she confronted him he threw a Gatorade bottle at her face. The dudes warped.
