Quote of the Day
“First off, there's probably not a damned thing the Yankees can do about A-Rod's contract. It was always a foolish deal, unless they had an unlimited budget and were willing to cut him when he stopped hitting. It seems that neither of those conditions apply. Not yet, anyway. Fortunately, the contract is good for Baseball, as it's ridiculous profligacy like this that keeps the haves from completely dominating the have-nots. So thank you, Steinbrothers, for paying your dreary third baseman a king's ransom. Now live with it.”
-- Rob Neyer, “Is it time for the 'A-Rod Rule'?” on mlb.sbnation.
Joe Posnanski, as always, has a nice, measured piece on the affair.
Encore.
