Yankees signed shortstop Alex Rodriguez to a 10-year, $275 million contract.
The deal was agreed upon last month, but as usual the Yankees took their sweet time making things official. Rodriguez reportedly can earn up to $305 million over the life of the contract based on incentives for moving up the career home run leaderboard and the marketing opportunities involved. The reigning AL MVP opted out of his original 10-year, $252 million contract back in October, famously making the announcement during Game 4 of the World Series. He'll be 42 years old during the deal's final season and now figures to enter the Hall of Fame wearing pinstripes.
