    A-rod to opt out...

    Alex Rodriguez opted out of his $252 million, 10-year contract with the New York Yankees on Sunday in what appears to be the end of his career with New York.

    Agent Scott Boras said in an e-mail to The Associated Press that Rodriguez had made the decision.
    What we've got here is failure to communicate. Some men you just can't reach, so you get what we had here last week which is the way he wants it. Well, he gets it.

    They don't need a third baseman.

    They have already said they would give him a record breaking contract and part ownership in the team...they could use a SS. He doesn't have to play third.

    Who has said that? Since Tribune is selling the team, no one can make statements like that.

    The Cubs won't be a part of the ARod sweepstakes.

    BTW, mighty bush of Fox to devote airtime to this little news item. Yep, Lord knows you can't have a playoff series without discussing GayRod and the Spankees.

    Cubs may sign him to play SS
    The ownership thing though is rumor because that isn't allowable under major league baseball rules

    I wonder if the Yankees won't come in, big high on Lowell, sign him then make the Sox get into the bidding.

    Nope, I'll say it again. The Cubs will not be a part of the GayRod Sweepstakes.

    but what is allowable is for them to defer part of the salary and convert it into ownership shares when he retires
