Default Re: possible reason arod signed early?

Dude, wasn't it like one day where you could even talk money with A-Rod? Why in the world are you assuming A-Rod had no interest?

Like seriously, look at what you're saying:

Yanks say A-Rod won't opt out or they will not re-sign him or negotiate
A-Rod opts out, pissing off the Yanks
A-Rod finds no one wants his services
A-Rod runs back to Yanks
Yanks gladly give A-Rod a monstrous 10-year contract when no other team was bidding?

The Yankees made a HUGE stink about the money from the Rangers. Eight years $225 million was the number tossed out before. So the Yankees decided they suddenly not only don't even care about the Ranger money lost, but they'll tack on two extra years and $50 million with possibly $25 million or more in incentives just because? Out of the kindness of their heart?

Get a clue.
