Breaking news: Arod will opt out!

does anyone think Arod is actually going to get a 300 million contract? I don't see him getting anything over 275 million.

if someone gives him 275, they will give him 300.

I don't see him getting over 200

No, sign and trades are definitely not allowed. I believe you need to wait atleast 3 months in the season to trade the player you just signed (somebody clarify the timetable for me), so sign and trades for all intents and purposes are not allowed.

We will get 2 draft picks for Arod, however.

Sheffield had a team option. That was picked up and he was traded with a 48 hour window for the Tigers to negotiate an extension. Which they did. So the deal went through. -Jitpal
