Re: What\'s going to happen to A-Rod after this year?
[ QUOTE ]
I didn't know he was planning on voiding the contact no matter what. I hope not. I agree, I thought he had a decent year. But I thought his contract stated he would be the highest paid player in MLB by $1 million over the next highest paid? Maybe I am wrong though.

Yeah, I recall his contract having a similar clause in it as franchise players in football. Hang on, let me look it up....

# Rodriguez may void after 2007
# Rodriguez may void after 2008 or 2009 unless club increases 2009-10 salary by $5M/year or $1M more than highest-paid MLB position player

He can void after this season for sure or stay with the club and then void after 2008 if they don't meet the demands. However, if the market stays ridiculous in next season's FA period, then he might just void immediately or use it as leverage to re-negotiate./
