Alex Rodriguez Opts Out

In shocking news, Alex Rodriguez has opted out of his New York Yankees contract and choosing not to see the Yankees grand offer of $30 million a year for five years to go along with the three years and $81 million A-Rod had left on his previous deal.

I don't know about you, but I feel cheated. This is the same man who said that he wanted to stay with the Yankees and that he couldn't imagine playing anywhere else. Us fans stuck with him through countless shitty October after shitty October, all so Mr. April-September could walk because $30 million a year isn't enough money. Alex proved why the rest of major league baseball fans hate him. It isn't really about winning for him and his agent, as he has said many times before. He wants to go down with the legacy of the highest paid player of all time.

Why Alex couldn't wait just a few more days to make headlines once again so the World Series Champion Red Sox could have the spotlight, is just another brush of his ego. The guy just has a thing for the spotlight. The record-breaking deal with Texas. The incident at the strip club in Toronto. Now, rumors say that the Cubs will be offering him partial ownership of their organization. I may sound like a hypocrite, but I can't wait to boo his guts out once he comes back to Yankee Stadium.

Good Riddance, Mr. Rodriguez.
