Just curious...
If the asking price to sign A-Rod is astronomical, why are teams still interested in signing him? Just let him have an year off, and rethink his priorities, which I would think is winning that elusive championship.
I think this goes for all the high-priced athletes. If they are "free agents," let them remain free of work. Face it: A-Rod won't have a job unless a team signs him, which means that A-Rod is sort of at the mercy of the teams. Unless giving out a 300+ million contract to a player means that you will generate more profit to compensate for the loss of 300+ millions. And it's no guarantee that A-Rod will stay healthy or worth his part to collect all that cash.
