A-Rod Extension

The Yanks have no choice but to make a legitimate 8 year extension on his current deal, making it 11 years total of guaranteed years.

I figure the numbers will be something like 34 X 8 = 275 million. I could even conceivably see it going as high as 306 for 9, just to make the numbers even.

And it's also possible to see A-Rod rejecting such a deal to hit the bonanza that is free agency.

Think about it. If they gave Soriano 100++, and Zito 100+++, I definitely see team X offering 300+++. The temptations are too high. Owners love to bid on these guys like A-Rod. Including George.
