The New York Yankees have asked to meet with third baseman Alex Rodriguez, and if and when they get that meeting, league sources indicate the team is prepared to make him an offer that will exceed, in average salary, the $27 million per year that he is scheduled to make over the next three seasons -- and A-Rod would be in line to set yet another salary benchmark.

A-Rod Worth A Lot

Alex Rodriguez has an impressive career resume, which figures only to grow. Some of his career highlights:

• Youngest ever to hit 300 HR, 400 HR, 450 HR, 500 HR
• 6 straight 40-HR seasons; 10 straight 30-HR seasons
• 3 50-HR seasons
• 2 MVPs (2003 & 2005)

In addition, he's on the short list of players who have led baseball in home runs, RBIs and runs in the same season:
Player    HR    RBIs    Runs
Alex Rodriguez, 2007    54    156    143
Roger Maris, 1961    61    142    132
Mickey Mantle, 1956    52    130    132
Johnny Mize, 1947    51    138    137
Ted Williams, 1942    36    137    141

The offer could be for something in the range of five years -- beyond the three years Rodriguez is already under contract for, from 2008-10 -- and perhaps $30 million a year. The highest per-workday salary earned to date is the $28 million Roger Clemens received, in prorated salary, for a little less than four months of work this season.

If the Yankees' extension offer is for something in the range of $150 million, over five years, then Rodriguez would be owed about $230 million over the next eight seasons.

It is unclear if the Yankees will get the meeting with the All-Star third baseman that they've requested. Rodriguez, 32, must inform the Yankees within 10 days of the conclusion of the World Series whether he will opt out of the last three years of his current contract. Yankees executives, from Hank Steinbrenner to team president Randy Levine to general manager Brian Cashman, have stated repeatedly that if Rodriguez opts out of the contract, they will not participate in any more bidding for the third baseman. If Rodriguez opts out of his current contract, the Yankees would lose $21.3 million in subsidy from the Texas Rangers, the team that signed Rodriguez to his current $252 million deal after the 2000 season.

Some executives are convinced that no other team will come close to the enormous extension offer the Yankees intend to make, and rival agents and executives are reading the steady stream of public negotiation rhetoric from agent Scott Boras as a bluff. But some officials cite Boras's history of taking his clients into free agency, and say they think Rodriguez will leave the Yankees.

Either way, it is the Yankees' intention to pay Rodriguez well, with a record-setting salary.

Gerüchte gehen um, dass es Joe Torre und A-Rod zu den LA Dodgers verschlagen könnte. Die Detroit Tigers sind heute aus dem Rennen bereits ausgestiegen mit der Verpflichtung von SS Edgar Renteria.

[Dördey]

auf jeden fall ne gute investition, renteria kommt zwar nicht an hanley ramirez, tulowitzki, reyes oder rollins ran nächstes jahr, wird aber definitiv auch in der kommenden saison in die ss top 10 einziehen!
ich habe mir eigentlich schon gedacht für a-rod kommen ausser den yanks schon mal alleine wegen seinem gehaltvolumen nur die red sox, cubs oder dodgers in frage, vielleicht noch die angels oder mets... da die red sox ja schon von vorne herein gesagt haben dass sie ihn nicht brauchen (richtig so, holt lieber nen ordentlichen shortstop!)kann ich mir auf jeden fall vorstellen dass er nächstes jahr in LA spielt... hoffentlich kriegen ihn die scheiß cubs nicht

[Dördey]

und mit den millionen aus dem a-rod deal holen die yankees fielder und braun von den brewers für die 1B und 3B... das wäre dann ein ungefähr adäquater ersatz für a-rod, wobei man die 1B Leute die die yankees diese saison hatten in die rechnung gar nicht mit einbeziehen brauch so schlecht wie die waren
