October 11, 200619 yr :lol He could retire after the 2010 season and still be making 3,4,5 millions till 2025!! :lol
October 12, 200619 yr And further proof why he can't be traded unless the Yanks take on his entire contract.
October 12, 200619 yr Author And further proof why he can't be traded unless the Yanks take on his entire contract. The Yankees only owe him $80 million over the next four years...I think most teams would gladly take him if the Yankees were to pay a few million of his contract every year
October 12, 200619 yr Author Wait, so the Rangers will be paying A-Rod for another 20 years? Or am I just stupid and reading that wrong? nope you didn't read it wrong They basically paid/ are paying him just under $50 million a year for his three years there
October 12, 200619 yr Looking over A-Rods contract makes me feel real bad for him when he gets booed in NYC.

October 12, 200619 yr This is why I laugh when everyone starts to pity A-Rod. After those bad nights, he probably just goes home to his money room and just kneels down and shoves money in his face crying "What should I do?"
