Alex Rodriguez's a horrible horrible contract with the New York Yankees may
suddenly come to an end however courtesy and loses Baseball Reference
Baseball Prospectus Baseball Prospectus we have
his contract broken-down we'll switch outlets it
are so it's worth ten years 275 million dollars from 2008 to $20.70
the big thing that in turn J pointed out to me however which I found
very very interesting when he did point out all credit goes them he gets six
million dollars for passing
home run totals a 660 714
and 755 we don't think bill passed the 702 might not even past 660
baseball decides to tell me how was I would ask willie Mae is now
where is it we know
he said my six 47 is really close yet now
so that's another incentive for the Yankees to
not playing because and they don't have to pay in that war is not always what
was the number to police at 6:47
he gets when he had 660 hit 69 outright 678 749 755
you get six million dollars each yeah so when he hits those totals
he gets that amount %uh in 2013 $28 million
total 2014 $20.5 million 2015 21-9
and 2016 and 2017 its $20 million dollar market in 2016 2017
is it that twenty million dollars come on nothin
for this guy nanking yet I
know is now I mean he wasn't worth it at the time it was a terrible contract and
everybody know it I mean our pools was a terrible contract and in our balls least
did you think that right when angel signed and details I loved it when the
angel side
I mean I is it justifies the age as an A's fan defense I thought that might
hurt
last year and thought it might part this year but I don't see it
heard you know it's not it's just you know I mean is easy it he looks poised
at a pretty good second half but I mean I watching Ron I was an angel game
I was at two games last weekend here on he travels camera
drops the first base me you were in our pool zillions or have this immunity get
booed
buy something what sort of immunity does he have because everybody knows he's
like playing RB
cannot run it doesn't look like he's trying to run hard and I think he's
brought you know one of the great things about the house love of baseball as the
is that sometimes its you shouldn't run art like it's not a game we're supposed
to go hard
all the time not well because I do in softball
knowing and get and here's what you do you overrun balls that are singles
you don't need to run are you just need to get in front I would go to any I
thought you were talking a running
down the baseline are you go hard well thats you yet but if you're hurt at all
yeah and there's a ninety-nine point 8 percent chance to be heard it's okay
don't run hard just look at Celestica just like ground-up
like you not to beat it out tonight like you might you might you let your very
first step
I might you're very fast caucasian at by far the best compliment you've ever
given me know your name here very fast years old
%uh now the interesting part let me ask you this really quick
David Ortiz are other pools who went in for your that diverges our fault you're
right he can run all
yet might get could be dollar to offer though he could but has 89
yes all monies our way yeah yeah nice guy came
Tom so I don't know I that's a terrible country was terrible contract the time
when I can see contact like that anymore gonna
I hope not yeah and because the price of oil in the NFL is Matt Ryan totally
different story
don't think that's different when you give it to a 23-year-old
till to play until he's 32 then dad makes
they might make some sense but the way baseball is the boo
you know players are under team control for six years you're basically Intel
your 27 or 28
you gonna get that first free-agent contract right nobody should sign you do
a deal until you 38 years old
and they'll be couple people who work out a lease produce for eight or nine to
those years
you know and then maybe you know if this is there an American League anything DH
at the end of it but I mean
the is just hugely diminishing skills we talk a little bit about specially for
power hitters
whose skills diminish quicker the guys who use their
yeah
