Soulless Player Rejoins Soulless Team
Posted by Christopher on November 16, 2007
The A-Rod saga ended almost before it began. Just weeks after the Yankees claimed they would not pursue him, A-Rod will sign a ten year, 275 million dollar deal to remain a Yankee.
On one hand I am happy. I never wanted A-Rod to become a Met. I don’t like his style of play. I agree that he would’ve made the Mets better, but I remain unconvinced that buying the best players available is the way to win a World Series. I have always criticized the Yankees for throwing money around and creating a Yankee team stocked with non-Yankees. The talk of the Mets pursuing Posada and A-Rod put me perilously close to being forced to acknowledge that the Mets are doing the same. Luckily, the Yankees went back on whatever principles they might have and signed A-Rod. The current Yankees and A-Rod are a match made in heaven.
On the downside, I think A-Rod does improve the Yankees chances of continuing their playoff streak next year. Boo…
