He'll sign with the bums.

MarkTaylor · 06-29-2007, 02:52 PM

no, why would he? he's on an aging team that isn't getting any better

ARod2212 · 06-30-2007, 12:39 AM

He's not going anywhere. He'll get a shit ton of money though.

Correct!

A-Rod isn't going anywhere. The Skankee payroll is too good to leave. That's all it is these days, money.

He has SEVENTY-NINE RBI's and we are still something like 10 days away from the All-Star break. Surely the Yankees wouldn't let A-Rod go.

Mr Crunchy · 06-30-2007, 01:29 AM

maybe 5 teams can afford him legit
2 in la 1 in chicago and 2 in the al east maybe even the mets if you will
what is he looking for?
quiet stardom with big city promos and no pressure?
west coast
adoration and a mighty challenge?
chitown
staying in the fire or crossing town or moving north??
in any case the heat will be on him like never before if he moves
if he stays he gets the luxury of being accountable for gary sheffield playing in detroit and a pitching staff that would struggle in pawtucket
a no win unless he wins it all situation
hes got 200+m in the bank getting juice up the ass
no alimony as of yet either so the cash is nothing but an ego thing at this stage
30m??
sure
but maybe he take 22 and go to the cubs for 10 years??
who knows whats on his mind,we need to consult his image people

I was reading an article either at foxsports.comor espn.com. Saying after the series in SF, theres a god chance he signs there. Just thought id throw that out there.

But in an answer to the thread, I say no, hes somewhere else next season. Signing for more moeny with the Yanks will only induce more pressure and critizm. And he doesn't want that.

i think the yankees like him but im not sure a-rod likes the yankees

I think the Yankees have a huge economic advantage with the $30 million subsidy from Texas. The Yankees would be fools not to offer him a huge extension not to lose that subsidy. If he opts out, the Yankees will lose the subsidy and will not re-sign him.

If he opts out he'll get more money from whoever signs him.

A-Rod will opt out no matter what IMO. I'm pretty sure he can re-sign with the Yankees if he wanted to, but you KNOW that his salary this year is the minimum salary he'll get. By opting out he ensures himself at least the same salary...and in all likelihood, even more.

How can you say that. The Yankees have more money than anyone plus they'll be playing with $30 million from the Rangers. if ARod stays with the Yanks, he'll get $25 million for the next 3 years and the Yankees can extend him for 4 years for $100 Million. ARod would be getting $175 million over the next 7 years and the Yankees would be paying only $145 million or less than $21 million/year.
