It shouldn't be that hard.

The New York Yankees have been making big moves left and right this year, but the biggest move for them might've been a move they didn't have control of. Alex Rodriguez finally accepted his season-long suspension for the entire 2014 MLB season and the Yankees have remained relatively mum on the entire topic.

Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter finally responded to the news saying that the Yankees have no choice but to move forward now that A-Rod has accepted his suspension. 

Jeter has texted with A-Rod since the lawsuits were dropped and he and his teammates are prepared to move on:

"He's not here for this season, so we're going to have to find ways to win with the team that we have," Jeter said Monday at the Yankees' minor league complex. "It's a complicated situation, but it's pretty much played out. That's what has happened."
