A-Rod and the Chicago Cubs

He may become a Cub but I can't imagine that Selig would ever let him have an ownership stake. To many conflicts of interest and a really bad precedent.

IF I read the rule correctly it states "a player can neither have part ownership of a team nor negotiate for future ownership". If this is the case couldn't the Yankees file tampering charges?

Tampering charges against who? The groups vying to buy the team? That would be novel.

In a perfect world the Cubs should meet the Yankees in the World Series.

It would be great to have Soriano back in the stadium again.

Should ARod get a ring this year or even make it to the series, he may never leave New York.

.

Aren't the Rangers still on the hook for a large chunk of his salary? If that is the case, the Yankees would want an early deal so as not to lose the 'subsidy' as they would if he got to Free Agency.

So...Cuban is ready to go all George on us, is he?

I'm pretty sure if Arod opts out of the rest of his contract that Texas off the hook, so the next club will have to pick up the whole 30+million. That is one reason that the Yankees will probably not resign him at all because even if he resigns with them after he opts out that takes Texas off the hook.

Another coup for Pay-Rod. As a Seattle Mariners fan, I'm secretly hoping he "comes home" and becomes a player-manager.

If I can Make it there,
I can make it anywhere,
It's up to you NY, NNNNYYYYYY

DOdouoDododouo
DOdouoDododouo
DOdouoDododouo.

I think ARod's turning the corner in NY, And winning over the Fan's.
But till he win's the WS with NY.
He won't be a true Yankee.
Just a hired gun.

True story. I told my dad when A-Rod was 18 y.o. and with the Mariners that he would end up the greatest player of ALL TIME. At that time, the Mariners had Griffey and my dad scoffed at the notion.

When he bolted to Texas fans in Seattle threw dollar bills at him when he visited to play. My attitude: NO WAY IN GOD'S GREEN EARTH WOULD I TURN DOWN 252 MILLION. NOT GOING TO HAPPEN. People crucified him in the press and I viewed them as hypocrits.. would you turn down 252 mil?

As for N.Y., their "guy" is Jeter. A-Rod is home with the wife and living a square life, getting crucified by the press, while Jeter is the toast of the town, partying it up. Such tripe.

I hope A-Rod makes 50 million a year. Why would I begrudge ANYONE their wealth? Folks, you are witnessing the greatest baseball player of all-time! He may well have 1000 homeruns when he's done. And has he killed dogs? Taken steroids? If I were A-Rod, and I'd tell the press to shove it where the sun don't shine and LOL all the way to the bank.
