08:16 AM ET 10.18 | On Wednesday, Alex Rodriguez, who had always insisted he'd never accept a trade out of New York, was less resolute. [Rodriguez] did not offer the same inflexible position. Asked if he wanted to stay a Yankee, he did not say yes, but merely that, "I love this organization" and that his "focus" was on winning [Wednesday] night's game. Unlike the past, Rodriguez refused to eliminate all possibility of accepting a trade. But this will ultimately not be about if the Yankees want A-Rod gone (definitely, they want out of as much drama, salary and further fade as possible) or if Rodriguez wants to go (a friend suggested to me he would be more willing to exit than ever). It is about if another organization wants A-Rod's declining performance.

The Yankees are stuck with this bum.....even if they wanted to trade him and someone was willing or stupid enough to take him and his albatross of a contract ...he is a 5 and 10 guy with a no trade clause...and as Alex says he loves it here in New York......he's not going anywhere.....and for the Yankee organization it's like having an anchor around your neck....

Maybe other teams will learn from this that these long tern contracts are only good for the player not the team or the fans of the team at the end of the contact, but I doubt it.

I never understood why they extended him in the first place. Were they smoking loco tobacco?

Miami is the only possibility. He would go there. They have some payroll to dump also.

Just goes to show you exactly how quickly things can change. I didn't think he was going to even hit 15 home runs this season but somehow he still managed. Our problems are not all about A-Rod but rather the everyday line up that is one dimensional at the plate.
