All Things Bubba

They just announced during the World Series that A-Rod is opting out of his Yankees contract. While it's still possible the Yankees could pursue A-Rod as a free agent, Cashman has been adamant in saying that won't happen.

Wow. I thought they'd get him to stay. Does A-Rod really think someone will pay more than the Yankees? Does he just hate NY that much? Or does he think jumping ship is the best way to win a World Series ring?

He said his concern was the "composition of the team" - who else will be returning. And perhaps the loss of Torre and what that means about who's in charge. I have to say, I'm a little concerned about that, too. (Especially if the Yanks' new manager is Girardi, as everyone seems to be expecting. He's not exactly known for his political skills.)

Goodbye, A-Rod.
