As far as I understand it, if ARod is asked to waive his no-trade clause he wants some serious bucks for it. This is one time where I really wouldn't blame him for asking that. What else is it there for? But he's already making beaucoup bucks in the first place, I don't know if any of the parties involved could afford his salary AND compensation. There might even be question as to who pays for it, considering the Rangers are still partially paying his salary.
ARod has also stated a preference for the AL as well in the past. I don't see him leaving the Yankees at this point. If the Yankees could get Zambrano and a healthy Prior they'd do a trade but that won't be happening anytime soon.
I wonder if Lou will hire Steve Lyons as his bench coach????
