The Yankees have asked to meet with A-Rod and league sources indicate the team is prepared to make him an offer that will exceed the $27M per year that he is scheduled to make over the next 3 years.

It's on the front page. That is nuts. I don't know why AROD would walk away from that, unless he really hates New York which I doubt. But 27 milion per year.. wow.

He's going to walk away from it because he can make more money. Why wouldn't he, especially with how NY has treated him? mahalo

hes out. hes gonna get the same offer in boston(ugh) or LA. and the way the fans have treated him the past 4 years can you really blame him for leaving ASAP??

I can. He should expect to be treated that way when he chokes in the playoffs every year as the supposed MVP. He ain't worth $30 million a year. Hell, nobody is.

Boston is going to offer him an 8-10 year deal? For some reason I doubt that.

& the wiretap said the offer will exceed the 27 million he is already making. So thats anywhere from 28-30 a year.

Where is he going to get too much, if any more money than $27M per year?

I can see if he leaves NY after they way the fans and media have treated him since going there; but I don't see why he'd leave over money. He's got more than enough of it and that's about as much money as he'll get on the open market, IMO.

I'm not seeing this $35M per year offer Boras was talking about a month or so ago.

In other news, I have to work at my part-time minimum wage job tonight. So, I don't wanna hear any bitching on the part of ARod.

anyone see A-rod going back to SS???

Frankly, if the Yanks offered me only $30 million a year for 5 years, I'd be insulted.

How good of a player are you? Wanna play for my softball league?

Perhaps, but idealy he would be suited to stay at 3B. He is a lot stockier now and that may have cut down on his range and speed which is needed at Shortstop. He'd still have the glove but his range would be gone. And what about his throwing motion? Since he's starting playing third he has sort of side armed the ball to first base, if he did that at short he would be short hopping every ball

this is good logic

nope, no it's not

so basically the yanks were gonna offer him 28 mill xtension over 5

if that isnt good enough for him, + the chance to break all the records with one of the most storied teams in the world, then screw him....he can go make his money somewhere else

he should enter the HOF wearing a dollar sign jersey

Posted: **Fri Nov 2, 2007 10:24 pm**

Indeed, I don't know what uni he should wear into the hall, i mean the guy is a hired gun, a mercenairy. Just give him a generic MLB jersey i guess.

i think that whole situation with yankee fans doing nothing but booing him no matter what he did played into the decision somehow.
