The A-Rod Deal:
Not only do the Yankees get the best player in baseball, but they get the Texas Rangers to pay $60 million of his salary. Ouch!
The decision to keep Jeter at shortstop and move A-Rod to third is a tough one to defend except in terms of team
chemistry. Rodriguez is far the superior defensive shortstop. I don't think Jeter has the arm for third base, so the obvious move would be to switch him to second.
