October 18, 201213 yr Say the Yankees ate $80-90 million of the contract to just get rid of him would you want your team to trade for him? If able to I would love for the Braves to trade for him.
October 18, 201213 yr I would love for my Cubbies to trade for him but I don't see that happening, wishful thinking.
October 18, 201213 yr I wouldn't take A-Rod unless my team was paying him no more than 7 or 8 mill a year. He's not worth much anymore. He's too injury prone and too average when he's healthy.

October 18, 201213 yr If im a national league team I pass on him. AL Team, maybe, that way you can at least rotate him in at DH now and then.
October 18, 201213 yr If you could catch ARoid right, he could be your everyday 3B, and if the money was the same, you could have Frazier in LF. ARoid could use a change of scenery. If all things equal, and you could get him for 2 yrs at the same $ as Luddy, I'd take ARoid.

October 18, 201213 yr I would go 5-8 mil on him. If I was in a place like Miami, where getting fans in the seats is a big priority, then I would push for him a little harder. Especially with the milestones he has coming up.
October 18, 201213 yr If im a national league team I pass on him. AL Team, maybe, that way you can at least rotate him in at DH now and then. It seems to me that the pitching as a whole is better in the AL. So I think if he came to the NL, you would see him start playing much better again. I know as Spindoc pointed out, I would love to have him if we could get him for the same money we would pay Ludwick. Then just move Frazier to left field.
October 19, 201213 yr If, as the original post stated, the Yankees are going to eat $80-90 million to unload him, you know they are going to ask for something in return. And my guess, as a Reds fan, is that asking price would simply be too high. As a smaller market club, we have to develop a lot of our talent (as opposed to going out and buying it)...so, I wouldn't want to deplete our farm system to make that trade, even if the Yankees made the money-part manageable...because you know they're not going to be content with Rolen, Cairo and Valdez in return.
