He'll be suspended for a minimum of 100 games, according to a high-ranking official with knowledge of the investigation but not authorized to speak publicly, and most likely 150, with talk of a lifetime ban. Rodriguez plans to appeal any suspension, but if the Yankees thought he'd avert suspension, they likely wouldn't have traded for Chicago Cubs slugger Alfonso Soriano.
