Will A-Rod sign an extension?
Frrom espn :
"The Yankees, who are all but assured of making the playoffs for the 13th straight season, likely won't watch A-Rod walk without attempting to sign him to an extension. But they have to act rather quickly. The Rangers are paying $29 million of Rodriguez's remaining deal. The moment he opts for free agency, the Yankees lose that money. They keep it if they can sign A-Rod to an extension." Since the Rangers are picking up almost $10 million a season, is there any reason to think that Yanks won't offer him something like $35-$40 million/year before he can get to free agency? The predictions are all talking $30 million, but I think the Cubbies and Red Sox and maybe the Angels will drive the bidding higher. Seems like the Yanks would be dumb to not try to overwhelm him with a take-it-or-leave-it offer before he hits the market. |

I'm about 95% convinced Arod will opt out
So it is more of a question about whether Cashman will stick to his guns. |
