A-Rod Back with the Yankees…

The all-time home run champion is indicted and the future all time home run champion has just signed a new contract with, dare you say, the New York Yankees.

Rodriguez’s agent, Scott Boras did not play a role in the negotiations as Rodriguez said he wanted to stay with New York and in the Bronx. He and his wife Cynthia have become household names in the New York Times as they supply the premier clean up hitter in the game. Rodriguez signed a 10 year, $275 million contract.

Rodriguez was fielding offers from the Angels and Dodgers among others. A-Rod was ready to make a decision as the Yankees continued to develop their front office with the decline of the George Steinbrenner regime. Hank and Hal have taken control over the past few months as is evidenced by the appointment of Joe Girardi as manager.

The increase in accountability that Girardi will bring may spell the end for a few unwilling players.

So, with the accountability that manager Girardi will bring, will spell the end of an era and the beginning of the new, young era. The Yankees have shown that unlike as in past years they are unlikely to give up strong or wise members of their tribe.
