    When Santana gets a new contract, you better believe he's getting like $25M.

    From a PR standpoint, it definitely wouldn't have hurt. But then again, most of that PR would have gone to waste if he left the Yankees for a higher offer.

    You think some of it may have to do with the fact that he might not have been happy in NY or with the Yankees? He and Boras made these absurd demands because the only way he'd stay with the Yankees is for an inordinate amount of money?

    No team is going to come anywhere NEAR that. Boras shops him to the highest bidder that he's happy with (or just the highest bidder) and that's that. Who knows, it might end up being the Yankees or maybe they won't want to deal with him or Boras and if he's unhappy with the Yankees, he moves on anyway.

    any team that pays him 40 mil season is stupid....

    40 million/season for A-Rod = Josh Beckett + Curt Schilling + Dice K + change.....
    ...it is what it is.

    He will not sign for that amount of money....no one could afford him at that price. Not the Yankees, not the Red Sox, not the Dodgers or Angels.

    I think it is a move to tell New York, @#%$ you. I don't understand how A-Rod was hated by a big number of Yankee fans when the season started and now that he is walking ya'll get salty.

    He will sign a similar contract that he signed with Texas, when it is all said and done. 10 years and about $250-$270.

    The Marlins are interested?

    Rodriguez would send that team into bankruptcy. Don't the Marlins get rid of their good players every 4 years?
