"He'll never have the honor of wearing the pinstripes again" -Yankees fans LAST year P.S. First base? Don't the Yankees already have the white Ryan Howard there?? May not wanna speak too soon I still think he's done in NY Guaranteed contracts are a hell of a thing. You think the Yankees want to give him $60m to "go away"? |

If ever in the history of sports there was an exception to every rule, this is it So yes, I think it's very possible they offer 60mill to go away, after of course exhausting every avenue, like proving he can't play physically (very possible, most athletes don't return from that hip injury) |

Of course he does! He has $61m reasons to get ready for the season. We know he has no shame. He also could get to some of those "historic milestones" Cashman smartly inserted into his deal. "I'm in the best shape of my career. The time off did wonders for my body!" -Arod Spring Training 2015 Not Cashman Of course not! One of these days you are going to come around and see that Cashman is awful. Pedroia awful. Brady against the Ravens D(in the playoffs!) awful.... |

You're going to eat his salary anyway. Sit him on the bench and watch him rot

Oh it is so in his makeup to wanna come back "The Yankees and their fans hate my guts ? Can't wait to get back!!!" There has to be another motive...likely financial. I doubt he really wants to be in a lineup again. Why not? It's all that guy knows. He's also really really close to 3000 hits with 700HR's within reach, as well. |

That would be a hell of a write-off, though. By the way, didn't he already come back from that injury last year?? He's already proven he can play. He'll have an extra year and a half to rest up and get in shape. "Best shape of my career!" |

It's pretty well documented that Hank Steinbrenner lost control of the team to Hal because he overruled Cashman on that deal. Cashman was as public as possible in saying "we are moving on" when Arod opted out Believe what you'd like |

I doubt he really wants to be in a lineup again. $$$$....He has to honor his contract to collect. Probably doesn't want to play for the Yankees at this point but figures if he tells them he's showing up next spring, he'll force them to trade or release him. No one would be dumb enough to trade for him no matter how much the Yanks kick in since they can get him for the MLB minimum after he's released. And if the Yanks buy him out, he's free to negotiate a new contract elsewhere. |

I don't think he gives a shit...unless of course hitting those milestones allow him to make lots of extra dollars. That's exactly what they do. He's right near Mays now. Ruth would appear to be a reach.... $30M marketing agreement based on home run milestones ($6M each for reaching 660, 714, 755 and tying and breaking major league HR record) |

He'll retire - which means some GMs may recognize this and offer a trade. Sox will give the Yankees Middlebrooks in exchange for Arod and 58 mill. |

He made his living on the backs of the people that drafted developed Bernie Williams, Jeter, Rivera, Pettitte & Posada. How did THAT GM lose his job?? |

If the Os lose Cruz, that division should be up for grabs for the Yanks and Rays next season, that what I care about most O's are losing Hardy, Cruz and Markakis to FA. All I can hope for is Manny to have a healthy season next year.. |

So much dead wood on that Yankees roster. Overpaying for past-their-prime players seems to have finally caught up with them. |

It's one of the more asinine things I ever heard The Yankees have a very good shot at trotting out an above average top to bottom staff Honestly, what is to like about the Sox besides Papi, and how Betts looks? Literally what is to like about the rest of the entire roster? |
