An interesting quote from that article...

And he's respected by the American League's most knowledgeable executives, notably A's GM Billy Beane, who recently said, "I'd take Alex in a minute. He's the kind of player everyone should be rooting for in this day and age. You know he's not doing steroids, he plays hard, he's good to the fans. And still he gets booed. I don't understand it."

I don't know if he was saying he'd just take the kind of player A-Rod is or, in a deal, he'd actually take A-Rod and whatever part of his contract.
Oh well, A-Rod's not going anywhere. Regardless of whether or not there are any teams that want him, I don't think the Yankees would trade him or he'd agree to it (I assume he has a no trade clause.)
