Lets put this in perspective. We the fans buy season packages and other sport related things. What makes a athlete think he is worth 200 - 500 million dollars adding A-Rods last contract and his new potential one. Not even talking about bonus on winning the world series and commercials. So what was it for A-Rod the gas prices went up, his mortgage went up, is he that essential for the Yankees. Are the Yankess going to suck if he is no there. Is he really going to make a team a whole lot better if the Yankees let him go. Did the Ranges go to the World Series. When is it enough money.

Should the Yankees deal with Alex Rodriguez: and his $275million? (keep in mind he already broke one contract with the Yankees) or Should the Yankees look for a younger player that could eventually be just as good if not better than Alex Rodriguez is right now?

In my opinion the Yankees should find someone to take his spot. I think that paying someone $275million plus benefits is well over paid, no matter how good you are.

Who cares!?!?!?!?
I love baseball, I love the Yankees, I love sports.
But stop complaining about a man you do not know.
Let him live and play his game and do what he does wherever he wants to do it!

and for what? to play a game? for most life is not a game and I think no one should pick him up for that amount of money....but the people of NY think otherwise. What is wrong with the world today when there are homeless and poverty in every city and people will pay one man this kind of money to play a game and enjoy life without picking up a tool of any sorts? I build houses and I know what hard work is with a deadline and this man will make more in ten years then I will in a lifetime? (He has already made more then I will in my life)....What a joke......America is losing its focus for sure and its getting out of hand. I think he should donate half of his earnings to the poor and hardworking americans that pay his salary...Its not like he is going to starve or nothing or better yet no one should pay him to play baseball and then he will know what its like to be a normal person..THIS IN AMERICA MAKES ME SICK TO MY STOMACH. All sportsplayers are overpaid in my opinion. who agrees?

I can't see why they want him. I mean I would want him and all but that just wouldn't work. The only place I can think of putting him is Left Field, but that didn't work out to well for Chipper so I don't see Mike Lowell doing any better.

Alex Rodriguez Statement
After spending time with 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.
Cynthia and I have since spoken directly with the Steinbrenner family. During these healthy discussions, both sides were able to share honest feelings and hopes with one another, and we expect to continue this dialogue with the Yankees over the next few day.

Why would they subject themself to that type of embarassment? Doesen't anyone understand how A.Rod works??? He want's a championship ring more then anything. If he want's a ring he should go to the Redsox or the Mets.

If the yankee's didn't offer him anything he'd have to go to a team that won't make the world series... if everyone boycotted arod then he would be forced to play wherever the LOWEST HIGH bidder would take him.

Not worth the $1.25 i gotta spend on a slushee with a picture of his ugly mug on the side of it.

Pay-Rod being offered $27.5 million a year seems ridiculous to me. Maybe a player cap of $15 to $20 mill per season?

$27.5 mill to bat .093 in the playoffs........

"And by Wednesday night, not only were Rodriguez and the Yankees back on speaking terms, but sources said they were close to a deal that would pay Rodriguez $275 million over 10 years".

Who in their right mind believes that A-Rod deserves close to $300 million dollars for playing baseball? It's absolutely ridiculous. These players are not out there teaching kids to read or performing life saving surgery or fighting fires or catching crimanals. They are heroes, yes, but they are not worth that much money. What kind of person do you have to be to believe that just because you are good, or even great, at a SPORT that you deserve more than someone who truly changes peoples lives on a daily basis? What kind of person is A-Rod? Who in their right mind would pay someone that much money to play a SPORT? It makes me sick to my stomach to think that some of these players in Professional sports honestly believe that they deserve this money. I'm not saying they are'nt heroes and deserving of a nice paycheck, but seriously, there has to be a limit. What has A-Rod done in his entire life to earn $300 million?

I dislike baseball anymore anyway, but for those who want to enjoy a game can't because of these huge salaries. My friend and his family went to a Oakland A's game this year, 2 adults, 2 children, and it cost over 600 dollars for the day. Thats unacceptable. We need to let these players and owners that REAL life is more important than their stupid sport.

If something is not done, it will only get worse in the future, and those in the middle class will not be able to enjoy a live sporting event. A shame how bad this sport got anyway. I stopped watching normal games after the last strike. If A-Rod gets all that cash? I am done with it, as I am sure thousands of others will be too. Hopefully when and if he gets the cash his wife will divorce him and get HALF! Wooooo Hoooooo you go girl! Take HALF!

First he opts out of his contract. Why? Was it money? No, of course not. He clearly didn't want to play in New York anymore. I'm sure he still doesn't. Then he releases some bold faced lie statement saying "I never wanted to leave"..."Cynthia and I love it in New York"..."I could have talked to other teams and got more $$$"...Translated to the truth this means "Nobody was going to pay me the 30 Million I wanted over 12 years-nobody will pay me what I make now-so I guess I'm STUCK in New York and I better go to them and beg for my job so I can keep the wife happy with all the loot those suckers are paying me". This guy and his idiot agent were sure teams were dying to offer him 330 Million, nobody was. Now he plays at a ridiculous price for a team he clearly wants nothing to do with. Worst-he lies about it-acts like he did NYY a favor. Funny how NYY don't trust him or his agent isn't it? This guy wouldn't be happy anyhwere he played. Wasn't happy in Seattle, Texas or NYY. Comical.
