Apparently Alex Rodriguez is only about the money. Who knew? A-Rod opted out of his contract with the Yankees and now is free to sign with any team (any team, right, like the Royals actually have a shot). Surely the Red Sox are currently moving some finances around to at least make an offer.
“I got a call from Alex tonight, and he is going to opt out,” Scott Boras, Rodriguez’s agent, told The Post last night during Game 4 of the World Series. “He was just too unsure with new ownership talking about a transition where the organization is going right now. He is not sure what is going to happen with [free agents] Mariano [Rivera] and [Jorge] Posada, and if Andy Pettitte is coming back. He needs more time to assess where the Yankees are going in the future.”
He’s opting out because he’s not sure if Rivera, Posada and Pettitte are coming back? Oh what a load of crap. A-Rod could give a sqaut about anybody else. He’s just ready to get out of the pressure-cooker that is the Bronx. He needs to go to a team that only cares about selling tickets and not playing in September (like say, the Giants for example). That way he can collect a paycheck and not ever have to worry about producing in the clutch.
Let’s get the talk going – where does A-Rod land? The Red Sox and Cubs come to mind, but I think the dark horse is the Giants.
