I can see someone waiving a no-trade clause to go TO the Yankees, but not to leave them. And I can certainly see Steinbrenner being arrogant enough to insist that the Rangers cover any sort of "compensation" for ARod leaving the Yanks. Steinbrenner would probably argue he did the Rangers a favor by taking ARod off their hands and he isn't that far off on that. I see Georgie insisting that the Cubs and Rangers cover any sort of compensation and the Yankees reap the benefits.

Just because that's Georgie for ya.
