Alex Rodriguez: Yankee Stadium
built 127 days ago
An offensive highlight of his season came on April 26, when Rodriguez hit 3 HR off Angels' pitcher Bartolo Colon and drove in 10 runs. The 10 RBIs were the most by a Yankee since Tony Lazzeri established the franchise and American League record with 11 on 5/24/36. Rodriguez won his second AL MVP Award in three seasons.

Rodriguez didn't want to talk about his negotiations with the Yankees that are leading toward a $275 million, 10-year contract. "There is a finish line in sight," Rodriguez said, adding he would talk about the contract "when the time is right."

Tim, you're assuming the Yankees believe Rodriguez's fair value actually is 10 years at $300MM. They've had all year to figure out what they think his value is and they presented it to him at 8 years, $240MM. A claim that they're making an emotional can only be proven if Rodriguez decides in late November that he'd accept the original 8 year, $240MM extension offered and the Yanks pull it off the table. Because they won't go an extra 2 years at $60MM proves nothing other than their perception of his fair value.

Rodriguez stood at home plate for a second after the drive off Royals starter Kyle Davies in the first inning, waiting to see if it would stay fair. He threw his hands in the air after it landed in the seats and began trotting around the bases as the Yankee Stadium crowd cheered wildly.

Buster Olney, of ESPN The Magazine, reports the New York Yankees would have had to offer $350 million to 3B Alex Rodriguez in order to meet with him, according to sources. This was around $100 million more than the Yankees were ready to offer.
