Alex Rodriguez Opts Out of Yankees Contract

Breaking news from ESPNews, A-Rod has told the Yankees he will opt out of his contract.

"Alex made the decision today,'' Boras said. "I thought we should notify the club.''


SI.com - MLB - Jon Heyman: A-Rod to opt out of contract - Sunday October 28, 2007 10:41PM

Boras said that A-Rod could not have made the decision within 10 days because the Yankees have many uncertain areas including Mariano, Posada and Pettite.

Re: Alex Rodriguez Opts Out of Yankees Contract

Mike Lowell's contract is up this year. Sox may be looking. The Red Sox are hesitant signing players over 35 to long term contracts.

Interesting !!!!

they need to be looking, but they should also keep Lowell

A-Rod may be 10x better then Lowell ........ but he is 100x better then Lugo

why do so many seem so sure we cant have A-Rod and Lowell ?

after all, its only money

Re: Alex Rodriguez Opts Out of Yankees Contract

Man alive, have you guys heard the comments from Hank Steinbrenner? He said that it was clear A-Rod didn't want to be a Yankee, and the he doesn't want anyone on his team who doesn't want to be a Yankee. Talk about burning your bridges... I guess the chances of A-Rod returning to New York are officially zero now, eh?

Seems like it's either going to be there, or Boston. We'll see, I guess.

Re: Alex Rodriguez Opts Out of Yankees Contract

If Torre ends up with the Dodgers, I wonder if Alex Rodriguez would prefer to head there.

He could play with his buddy Nomah... or not, depending upon what L.A. does there. Dodgers sure could use him.

Re: Alex Rodriguez Opts Out of Yankees Contract

Dodgers are by far the best fit for him, and he will love playing somewhere where there is no pressure to win from the fan base. He is a nomadic version of Ernie Banks, a Hall of Famer who never won a ring.
