Alex Rodriguez, Inc.

Don't you hate it when somebody explains something plainly obvious and then tells you that you don't understand this simple concept:

"What a lot of the A-Rod Forever crowd doesn’t understand is that this has nothing to do with the Yankees or Jeter or Torre or the media. It has everything to do with Alex Rodriguez, Inc."

Yes. ARod is self-centered and he was pushing his own agenda on the Mike and the Mad Dog Show.

Thanks for the insight, beat writer. Keep up the good work.

(Is "Inc." supposed to be an insult? Because, in the time it took you to add ", Inc." to his name, he earned more in interest than you will earn in your entire life. He probably is incorporated into a separate legal entity in order to protect his assets. If you ever move out of the Datsun, maybe you should think about doing the same thing.)

But even Abraham's simplistic observation (ARod is greedy!) doesn't get it quite right.

Because the fate of Alex Rodriguez, Inc. is related to the fate of the Yankees and, therefore, Jeter and Torre.

So Alex Rodriguez, Inc. absolutely has something to do with the Yankees and Jeter and Torre.


"Given what the market was like last winter, what would a player like Alex be worth next winter?"

A heck of a lot.

Probably not $25 mill per year, though. That ridiculous contract broke the bank and has never been approached by any other big league ballplayers.


"Starting the bidding at $33 million a year for seven years."

?????.

"Start the bidding at $33 million a year for seven years."

Did you say "$33 million"?

You really think ARod is going to get an offer for $33 million per year?

You, sir, are not smart. Your Yankee blog is starting to sound like a parody of itself.
