LOL
Texas is on the hook throughout the remaining years of this contract, $12 mil this year, and I think that same value the following years. They didn't agree to pay $12 mil to the yankees throughout his entire career should he choose to keep playing under the same terms.
There isn't anywhere for him to play on the Mets, and maybe Boston would pay him 8 yrs/$200 mil(or more) he is looking for, but after that who else is willing to pay that? That's where the money the Rangers pay the next three years gets involved. Teams like the Dodgers, Giants, and Angels become interested if Rodriguez is willing to extend the current deal.
