Re: some facts/opinions on A-rod
[ QUOTE ]
If whatever deal arod signs isn't enormously huge and for 7+ years, it wont be because GMs all of a sudden rationalized up and stopped doing stupid [censored], it will because arod realizes that he is going to earn over 500mm + endorsements over the course of his life and is going todecide where he signs by where he can win a WS and wants his family to live. Boras notwithstanding, he is not necessarily going to squeeze every last mil he can get out of whatever team signs him , if he wants to play for NY or LA he is going to pass up some 300/10 offer from somewhere else.

Hasn't this been his MO? If you or I had as much money as he does now then I don't think we'd worry too much about an extra couple million bucks. I'd definitely worry about going to a good baseball town, that's a nice place for my family, and has a good shot to win the WS. Given the whole "wanting to win a championship thing", how attractive is NY looking right now given the turmoil surrounding Torre and what not?
