Alex Rodriguez's sense of timing should never come as a surprise. He's able to put himself right smack in the spotlight at exactly the wrong moment. It takes some kind of chutzpah to do what he did on Sunday. According to numerous reports, Scott Boras informed the Yankees yesterday afternoon that Rodriguez will opt out of his contract, thus ending his four-year stint in pinstripes.

"Alex made the decision today," Boras said. "I thought we should notify the club."

The Daily News reports:

"We really wanted him back, but obviously he didn't want to be a Yankee," Hank Steinbrenner said late last night. "I just think that's a shame. But if that's the case, then this is goodbye."

I'm not shocked that Rodriguez is jetting. You could see it coming. And I can't say that I'm entirely surprised at how it came out. I knew it would come down to something weird like this. Still, a hell of a way to go, ain't it? Just another reason to wonder what's next? But my immediate guess is that this means Joe Girardi will be named skipper today.

Also, congrats go out to the Red Sox and, more to the point, any Red Sox fans who frequent Bronx Banter. The Sox are a deserving champion. Did the Rockies even show up? Wow.

A heartfelt congrats to the Sox and their fans, winning the Al East in 2008 will be a great accomplishment that you can look forward to all year!

Roughly 400 comments on the last thread all trashing this fraud.

I really thought he was going to stay. His teammates loved him this year, the press for the most part did as well (see RLYW's cover counter), and he won't get more money somewhere else. Guess none of that was enough to overcome his hatred for the city.

0 I think my sample size is small, but there's much less of a ruckus in New England today than there was 3 years ago. Understandable, I supposed, but I wonder if Sox fans already feel that this is their due.

yankz - maybe shelley would be the one to kick his ass.

Living in Boston it is very hard for me to feel congratulatory - but I will say I feel somehwat better than I thought I would - in part because after last year's joke of the Cardinals winning - I am glad the superior team won

a new day.

a new direction.

we're just a scrappy little wild card team undergoing a rebuilding phase.

they have to leak a manager today. positivity.

to be honest, i felt a little guilty rooting for rodriguez. screw him.

he has been 134ed.

2007-10-29 07:50:30

william in the last thread says Kim Jones heard through someone else that Arod had been planning on leaving since at least September. I'm really, really curious as to what did it. The press? No more sleepovers with Jeter? Still sad about batting 8th?

I hope it was something like "I didn't get along with my teammates." Like he will somewhere else.

4 they are one hell of a team. you have to give them that. they were solid from wire to wire for the most part, and owned the playoffs.

all props should be given, and they are deserved.

props and congrats.

(Either that or Black Sunday.)

16.   Cru Jones
Yes, congrats to Red Sox fans, but it's a little generous to say the Rockies didn't show up. Two one-run games out of four isn't a TOTAL blowout.

For all the hate I have for A-Rod right now, I am grateful for one thing: his opting out during the 3rd inning kept me from dwelling on what was unfolding in Denver. Thank you, A-Rod! You're a klassy guy!

2007-10-29 07:54:11

27 Yeah. Look I'd have more respect for A-Rod if he sat down with the team and ownership, discussed a deal and decided he didn't like it.

Announcing during the world series (on a night that should be purely for those two teams) that you won't even return the Steinbrenner's phone calls. Well, as much as I hate to quote that fat turd, "Bush League."

2007-10-29 07:59:32

Poor Bobby Abreu, A-Rod only cared if "his closer, his catcher, and his tenured starting pitcher" came back. What about HIS right-fielder?!?!? What about HIS defensive replacement first-baseman workout buddy?!?!
2007-10-29 07:59:42
36.   Schteeve
If Boston starts bidding for A-Rod, and the Yankees stick to their guns, they are idiots. They should swallow their pride, and negotiate with him. Losing A-Rod is a disaster for this team.

On the other hand, it's going to be interesting to see what he gets and from whom.

we should have a 134 post on the side for those who missed it.
basically on friday there was some back and forth between two posters (we think in a joking manner)
anyway post 134 mysteriously disappeared and it heightened the mystery.
so when people say it was 134ed it means something disappeared

2007-10-29 08:02:30
44.   tommyl
35 I said it on the last thread, that's BS. A-Rod could have waited 10 more days to meet with ownership and Cash, find out what direction they wanted to take the team and see how offers to MoPoAb shook out. I'd have more respect for him if he just said, "You know what, you guys booed me so screw you, I'll go hit my HRs somewhere else."

The Red Sox were clearly the better team...in fact, 4 or 5 teams in the AL were clearly better than everyone in the NL. I thought the Yankees could have handled Boston head-to-head, but they didn't get the chance. Regardless, I think Boston deserved to win the World Series. Unlike 2004, I have to admit I didn't really care too much whether they won or not. One reason was because it didn't come as a result of a historic ALCS over the Yankees. Secondly, I didn't dislike as many players on this team as the 2004 edition. And, finally, before 2004, it almost felt as if one of the Yankees main missions was to keep the curse of the Bambino alive. With that silliness dispensed with, I've kind of lost interest in what the Red Sox do when they are not playing the Yankees.

More background on 134 not related to Banter (or is it?)
Article 134 of the American UCMJ is the catch-all article, for offences "not specifically mentioned in this chapter." Article 134 has been used to prosecute a wide variety of offences, from cohabitation by personnel not married to each other to statements critical of the U.S. President. Some prisoners at Abu Ghraib were tagged with this number.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/134_(number)

So if ARod has be 134ed, then we can now ascribe to him all the failings of the Yankees for the past few years.

Ditto!

Now .... A-Rod could have said ... "I want Mo, Po and Pet back next year, and I'm willing to defer X million of my salary to help with the luxury tax if you can sign them all and give me an extension".

But we all know the odds of that happening.

p.s. I still wouldn't mind Beltre at 3rd, even at his inflated salary and .270ish BA. His defense is outstanding .... he's still young, and he keeps his nose clean (I think).

It's only going to get sadder when Mattingly decides he would like to leave the team because of the Girardi hire. I think Girardi will be a fine manager, but I'm afraid Donnie will give the Yogi treatment as well and I would hate to see that.

It sucks that A-Rod is leaving, but if this is the way he chooses to leave then so be it. He will go down as baseball's greatest nomad. Hank had a pretty good line in the Times: "Does he want to go into the Hall of Fame as a Yankee, or a Toledo Mud Hen?"

36 Presumably, the Yankees were going to make their best offer in the pre-opt out period. Unless the market for Arod sours and they can still get him at that price, I hope they do not over bid for him. Getting into a bidding war with Boston would be the worst thing that could happen. Not only would they be tied into a long-term deal that will become an albatross in 3-4 seasons, but the added pressure on Arod would make a future meltdown a distinct possibility.

Arod was great...I loved him. But if he wants to move, the Yankees can too.

36 No way. Let him walk.

The fans and the team may have been in a bit of denial for 4 years about what kind of disruption this guy causes wherever he goes, but last night he showed his true colors.

52 Mattingly strikes me as too classy to let being passed over phase him that much, although I don't expect him back as a coach. As long as the Yankees were fair to him and explained there reasons well, I don't see him holding a grudge. What was done to Yogi was certainly unfair and he had every right to be upset.

53 Papelbon and Youkilis are the only players I dislike (I even don't hate Schilling)...in 2004, there was Millar, Damon (whom I now really like), Pedro, Lowe, Arroyo, Nixon...

I can't wait for the '08 All-Star game boo-fest. Ahh, just like old times.

Wonder how the A-Rod apologists apologize for this big "F.U. and your measly $27M a year".

51 Beltre at 2 years/$24mn wouldn't be awful because he is great on defense and competent as a hitter. He would probably wind up being a rich man's Scott Brosius.

54 Personally, I can't see Boston making a move for him. Maybe the FO wants to, just to stick it to the Yanks, but I think the players & the fans would revolt.

Varitek, Schilling, Pedroia - you think any of these guys could co-exist with A-Rod?

I say Cubbies. Piniella's probably working the phones as we speak.

67 I don't think there are any left.

Completely forgot about the AS Game. Wow, it's going to be noisy.

58 Keep in mind...this was same Arod who sat in the stands behind home plate during game 5 of the 2000 World Series. No one should be surprised by the tactic Arod used this time around. Boras is very cunning in how he orchestrates things, so this was right in line.

21 Fair enough. Just trying to stay positive. Red-Rod Sunday has been tough on me.
