A-Rod Opts Out

Are you serious!?!? Why did he do that?

Boras' quote doesn't really make sense...if he really wanted to know what the Yankees were doing, he'd wait until the 10th day to decide if he wanted to opt out or not. Now he's burned his bridges with the Yankees. This doesn't really look smart to me, unless Boras really believes the Yankees are lying about not having him back.

ARod made the decision before the season even started. This should come as a surprise to no one.

And now Fox will no longer talk about the baseball game /actually going on/ for the rest of the night.

Here's what I say to you A-Rod... F U you greedy piece of garbage. Ken Rosenthal just had to make things worse for New York City's baseball fans. First, the Red SUX are about to win a f'en ho-hum World Series and now this dose of poison. Some promise to wait ten days after the World Series and/or see who the Yankees hire as their new manager. Go ahead, join the f'en Red SUX or even the blessed Cubs while you're at it! Go to hell Scott Boras. You're the reason baseball economics are so out of control.

Honestly how much money does a guy need? reports were the yankees were willing to give him 5 year 150 mil extension. If he had any interest in coming back to the yankees he should have at least waited till he had to opt out to do so. Unless his "reasons" for opting out were B.S. which i'm quite sure they were. Boras will go out and get a-rod a ton of money from someone, that much is sure. As a Yankee fan and an A-rod supporter this is very disappointing that he wouldn't at least wait the ten days to see what happens.

Wow, that was quick. I was just telling my roommate "10 days. The A-Rod watch begins now." Then I read three minutes after the end of the World Series that A-Rod opts out. Now it's time for my team (the Chicago Cubs) to pony up to their fans who have suffered to put the best team on the field. And the first step would be by signing the best player in the game. No matter his price!

The Yankees said if he opted out his career in pinstripes was done....i hope they stay to their word...it'll help the Sox repeat...04 07 Champions!!!!!!!!! {{

I'm glad A-Rod is gone. He suffered in the postseason, and couldn't live up the hype in NY. Yea, he had 2 mvp seasons, but he isn't worth it. I say lets save the 30 million a year and sign someone who can actually play in the postseason. Let A-rod go the cubs and play with Lou. We don't need him here.

Not an article -- moved to locker room

Agree with Ibearg about how much does A-Rod need? According to baseball-reference.com he has made $170 million in his career already. If he is saving his money it won't matter if he makes $25 million or $30 million a year. He could buy a lot of tacos with the $22 million he made this year...he could almost buy the company.

Screw A-Rod! He's a phony and can't hack it in New York. He can rot in hell with Boras! He's the type of guy who needs to have the spotlight but when it's on him he can't deliver. I hope the Yankees don't go back on their word and try and resign him. If I'm Cashman I'd try and put a deal together for Miguel Cabrerra. A-Rod can't hold DJ's jock anyway.
