southsider2k5 Posted October 6, 2014 Author Share Posted October 6, 2014 It makes me really happy to note that the Yankees still owe Alex Rodriguez $61 million, at least. His $30 million in homer bonuses starts kicking in with just 6 more dingers. http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=3153171 Historic Achievement A-Rod could receive an additional $6 million each for five milestones that the team designates as historic achievements. They are contemplated to be tying the home run marks of Willie Mays (660), Babe Ruth (714), Hank Aaron (755) and Barry Bonds, and breaking Bonds' major league record.

witesoxfan Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 If the Yankees really want to be done with ARod, I wonder what their next move is. He's eligible to return next season and will likely be healthy, and if he's healthy, they can't put him on the DL. Do they DFA him? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe he found the fountain of youth during his year off and can suddenly hit again? That team is desperate for offense Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they still could. I thought i remembered that voiding it was a lot more complicated, and the Union didnt want to go down that road(ie. didnt want ARod to be an example that other teams would follow in a similar situation), so the Yankees were "dissuaded" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
