So he's going through rehab and publicly announcing his progress so he can be Albert Belle II:
"The News reported on Thursday that sources close to the ongoing drama surrounding the embattled third baseman believe Rodriguez has fast-forwarded his return to the team so he can then claim he is physically unable to perform and announce his retirement.
That way, he could collect the full amount of his salary — $114 million over the next five years — even if he is suspended by commissioner Bud Selig’s office because of his alleged ties to Biogenesis, the South Florida clinic that Major League Baseball investigators believe supplied banned drugs to Rodriguez, Milwaukee Brewers star Ryan Braun and approximately 20 other players.
But Jeter, from what he has seen of Rodriguez in Tampa, doesn’t think A-Rod looks like he is ready to call it quits."
Of all the scenarios that seem ridiculous, the rush-to-retirement angle seems to be the most ridiculous of all.
