It's ironic though, because I find it hard to see him getting more money elsewhere, especially given the fact that the yankees have a 14 million dollar headstart over the next two years (money still paid by texas). If a-rod ops out of the contract, the yankees lose that money and would have to start from scratch to pay him. It would basically be a big "fuck you" to the organization, from a-rod.
