08:15 AM ET 05.26 | Considered by some to be an immovable object, Francisco Rodriguez might be willing to help change that. Rodriguez's $17.5 million vesting option, activated for 2012 if the closer finishes 55 games this year, is commonly seen as an albatross, a major drag on Rodriguez's trade value. But for a variety of reasons, the clause is not as problematic as it seems. ... The closer's open-mindedness will help: Although Rodriguez has a clause blocking trades to ten undisclosed teams, a source close to him said that he will consider any potential deal that is presented to him. Rodriguez is also open to waiving the vesting option in the event an acquiring team wants to negotiate a multi-year extension, the source said.

It's not in his best interest, vesting option or not, to be restricted to 54 games for the Mets. He's playing for another contract now. People get very open minded in a contract year when their value has been compromised.

Open-mindedness? Apparently open minded enough to consider beating up his girl friend's dad.
