You have to understand the Yankee mindset. They feel that they are the best ballclub and that naturally ARod should be panting to play there.
Thats the Steinbrenner mindset. Fuck 'em all.
It appears that Georgie Porgie is no longer calling the shots. Reportedly he wanted Torre back but Hanky Panky, the ungrateful son of a bitch (literally), overruled Daddy Steinhitler.
Hanky stated that they (the Yankees) were no longer interested in ARod. He's playing hardball. It remains to be seen if the team plays hardball next year.
