The New York Post is reporting that Alex Rodriguez is heading back to the Yankees and will likely be guaranteed about $280 million over 10 years.
“After spending time with (wife) Cynthia and my family over these last few weeks, it became clear to me that I needed to make an attempt to engage the Yankees regarding my future with the organization.
Prior to entering into serious negotiations with other clubs, I wanted the opportunity to share my thoughts directly with Yankees’ ownership. We know there are other opportunities for us, but Cynthia and I have a foundation with the club that has brought us comfort, stability and happiness.
As a result, I reached out to the Yankees through mutual friends and conveyed that message. I also understand that I had to respond to certain Yankees concerns, and I was receptive and understanding of that situation.
That’s a long cry away from where A-Rod was just over a year ago when fans and media seemed to be crushing his spirit. Maybe the money is actually second on A-Rod’s wish list and winning is first.
Nah, the money is still first. Who am I kidding?
