Maybe they just don't like him and they are intentionally embarrassing him.

"For the good of everyone, the New York Yankees must make a decision on Alex Rodriguez, then announce it and move on.

They can cut him or keep him. They just need to decide. Right now."

So far, they have kept him, which is the status quo.

So they're already decided.


"They can release him today, eat his $27 million and let him find out if anyone else wants a 41-year-old DH with a .609 OPS, or they can let him ride the pine the rest of the year and let him give it another crack next spring to see if he has anything left."

I think they have decided the latter.


"What they should stop doing is trying to figure out what they think. Because they already have announced that A-Rod is not going to play much, if at all, the rest of the way, then the baseball operations people must tell Hal Steinbrenner if they think Rodriguez has anything left. If they don't, thank him for his work and let him and the franchise move on."

You seem to be imagining some internal decision-making angst which doesn't exist.



"If they think Rodriguez might be able to regain some magic next year, then announce he will be on the team the rest of the season and they will give it another go then."

Eh, don't hold your breath.

Besides, you'd have nothing to write about.
