He coulda went to LA for all I care. Great stats but he gags when push comes to shove. I'd rather have Lowell.

Speaking of Mike Lowell......the rumor in the NY papers today is that the Yankees will sign A-Wad and still go after Lowell. The idea is to sign him even if they have to overpay him and then put him at first base. Sounds like a plan.

Yep, they've got a deal in place.

A-Rod and Yankees have outline of $275 million, 10-year deal A-Rod and Yankees have outline of $275 million, 10-year deal By RONALD BLUM, AP Baseball Writer November 15, 2007 NEW YORK (AP) -- Alex Rodriguez and the New York Yankees have agreed to the outline of a $275 million, 10-year contract, a deal that potentially would allow him to earn millions more if he sets the career home-run record. The amount of the guaranteed money was revealed by a person familiar with the negotiations who spoke Thursday on condition of anonymity because the deal hasn't been finalized. A-Rod met Wednesday in Tampa, Fla., with the Steinbrenner brothers but the parameters of the deal were set in place last weekend. "Yeah, I could say that," Yankees senior vice president Hank Steinbrenner said. "The meeting was a final get-together. He wanted to make sure myself and my brother knew that he was sincere and serious." The Yankees still must draft the agreement with Rodriguez's agent, Scott Boras.
