Title: Alex Rodriguez Declares He Will Be Back with the Yankees Post by: Marshal Dillon on October 19, 2012, 08:43:52 PM I guess he better start taking those steroids, again.
Quote As the criticism piled up in the past few days, so did trade possibilities involving Rodriguez. But Rodriguez, 37, still has five years and $114 million left on his contract, a good portion of which the Yankees would likely have to eat to make any deal work. :lol: http://tracking.si.com/2012/10/19/alex-rodriguez-trade-clause-playoffs-postseason-yankees-marlins-dodgers/?sct=hp_t2_a7&eref=sihp Title: Re: Alex Rodriguez Declares He Will Be Back with the Yankees Post by: Catch Prothro on October 19, 2012, 09:33:47 PM I guess he better start taking those steroids, again. $23 Million a year to ride the pine? I'd be back too.Quote As the criticism piled up in the past few days, so did trade possibilities involving Rodriguez.

He will get paid no matter where he plays. So he's really holding all the cards.
My guess is he will stay one more year and try to get his numbers up. Then he might approve a trade to a warmer climate. Miami, with the new indoor/outdoor stadium, might be attractive to him.

If the New York media keeps ripping him unmercifully, he might approve a trade since his ego is so huge and he can't take the heat. The Yankees will have to eat at least 75% of that contract, if not more, to get rid of him. I love it. :lol2: |
