Some keep saying "no athlete is worth that much"??? Obviously he is...If someone is willing to pay him that much then he is worth it. ARod is no different than any other professional. He generates revenue for the ballclub. Regardless if people like it or not...professional sports is business...BIG business. Now we might not like it or think its ridiculous...BUT...teams will be lined up to pay him...which means, "he's worth it".
