Are the headlines true, is Alex Rodriguez coming back to the New York Yankees. According to ESPN baseball analyst, Buster Olney, A Rod and the Yankees are nearing a 10 year $275 million dollar contract. What a turn of events.
Just a few weeks ago Rodriguez opted out of his Yankees contract to become a free agent. According to the New York Post, Rodriguez through other parties told the Yankees ownership that he wanted to discuss coming back to the team.
That's how it all began. Blogs started talking about A-Rod coming back so did the newspapers such as the New York Post and the New York Daily News.
When A-Rod opted out,the Yankees had 0 percent chance of coming back. Yankees ownership told Alex that if he opted out of his contract, they would not negotiate with him. Now the stage is set. Both ownership and A-Rod are discussing a contract that would keep him in pinstripes. If he signs now will the fans react? Or is this a set-up so that other A-Rod, to get other teams to bid as well?
