Re: possible reason arod signed early?
ARod didn't lose at all though.
The Yankees want ARod back obviously, but they said they wouldn't negotiate with him if he opted out. Saying he has to deduct the $21mil in Texas money from the new contract is their way of saving face. So basically they take the $300mil he wants, subtract $25 for the Texas money they lose and then give him the $25 back in incentives.
