Alex Rodriguez and The New York Yankees Need Each Other

Jason Evans — Tue, 07 May 2013 03:43:03 +0000

The elephant in the room may be getting closer to being, well, the elephant in the room. Alex Rodriguez began baseball activities today and took 20-30 swings off a tee and some ground balls in the field. With all of the off-season controversy surrounding him following his miserable performance in the playoffs, to his hip surgery, to the Biogenesis clinic, the best thing for Rodriguez is to get back on the field.

A recent mention of Alex Rodriguez attracted numerous reactions, both digitally and privately. It seems that there are many New York Yankees‘ fans that are much angrier than I about his lack of appreciable production in relation to his salary. (more…)

The Yankees Must Regret The 2007 Offseason

Hunter Farman — Thu, 07 Feb 2013 18:00:49 +0000

At the end of the 2007 season, the Yankees were faced with an interesting predicament. The team wanted to improve, but at the same time, they wanted to re-sign star third baseman Alex Rodriguez, who was going to opt out of his contract. (more…)

Yankees and the A-Rod Conundrum: Part Two

Benjamin Orr — Tue, 05 Feb 2013 18:00:44 +0000

Making somewhat of a case for Alex Rodriguez becomes rather limited. Sure, you can say “well the Yankees did agree to sign him for 10-year, $275 million, so they owe him.” That’s about where that side ends. The lying and the disrespect that came from Rodriguez absolutely voids his contract and the Yankees have been trying to find ways to get rid of the gargantuan contract. (more…)

Yankees Links: A-Rod vs. Yanks, Mo says teammates support him

Jimmy Kraft — Tue, 05 Feb 2013 15:10:41 +0000

I said this on Twitter when the whole contract termination nonsense came up, it’ll be difficult for Alex Rodriguez to play for a team that is publicly trying to dispute his contract status. It’s a sad state of affairs for A-Rod, who is only guilty right now of being named, not necessarily connected with the Miami-based anti-aging clinic, BioGenesis. He has recently come out in defense of himself against the Yankees and MLB, and a prominent teammate said he will accept A-Rod back, once he returns from his hip injury. (more…)

Yankees and the A-Rod Conundrum: Part One

Benjamin Orr — Sat, 02 Feb 2013 18:00:39 +0000

This isn’t an easy time for anyone at the moment, particularly the party of Alex Rodriguez. However, I think this latest blow might just prove to be the fatal hit. A-Rod had been under such a microscope since coming to New York in 2004 and gaining the trust of Yankee fans is one of the hardest tasks in the world to achieve. The rough, murky waters in which Rodriguez stood really never subsided, but in 2009, he tried to make amends for past mistakes.

Sorry isn’t going to cut it this time A-Rod. (more…)
