This Friday will mark the last game that Alex Rodriguez will be playing as a player in the Major Leagues as a member of the New York Yankees. In a press conference on sunday Brian Cashman stated that A-Rod will stay on the team as an advisor but will retire from active competition. A-Rod is one of the last players from the 90’s decade of Major League players that i grew up watching.
With this move A-Rod is still going to be paid 27 million next year, and he is going to be paid seven million this season. When A-Rod signed with the yankees he signed one of the biggest contracts in baseball with him getting 225 million dollars also during the press conference General manager Brian Cashman confirmed that Rodriguez will receive his full salary through the expiration of his 10-year, $275 million contract.
Now that is a surprise to me because the yankees could have been using that money towards getting players to help the team try to compete to make the playoffs could this be a sign that they are not going to worry about trying to make the playoffs this season?
