LAA is most logical. Perhaps LAD? Not many teams can afford his contract...$60+ for 4 yrs, I think. Wherever he goes, it has to be for young arms.

A full bag or 3/4 of the bag? A full bag is pricey...

Speaking of bags, how about a handbag in return?

Yankees have enough players with handbags already....they need briefcases!

the rumor in san diego is an offer of giles and peavy, with the yanks picking up some of that salary

[BigWeiner]

Ervin Santana and Chone Figgins

That must me Yankee news, cause the Padres would be getting ripped off. I'm sure the next rumor will be D. Willis and M. Cabrera for ARod

wow, only way i'd do that if i was SD is if nyy took 50% salary. peavy is good. giles is old and heading downward

I think santana and figgins is a lot to give up for arod... pitching is much more valuable even though they do need someone to protect Vlad in that lineup...

I know this might not be a popular choice but what about San Fransisco... Shea Hillenbrand and Jason Schmidt? Or Shea and Noah Lowry?? Lowry does have an upside to the young lefty arm he possesses..

Maybe even Milwaukee for Sheets/Capuano and Bill Hall...

Detroit could give up Inge and one young stud pitcher like Maroth or Bonderman or someone...

What about the White Sux for Crede and Garland/Garcia...

or to Cincinnatti for Aurilia(sign and trade), Arroyo(proven he can play in NY in a big game), and a minor leaguer or Rheal Cormeir to try and bolster up the pen a little...

Either way someone is going to get short ended... either the Yanks who dont think they get enough in return... or the team they trade him to in that they are giving up too much... the yankees will end up paying part of that salary and he will put fans in the seats for other smaller market teams like Milwaukee and Cincy... or be the perfect fit behind Bonds in San Fransisco...

[Press Coverage]

Not sure where he was getting his info from, but Colin Cowherd threw these out on his show on ESPN radio yesterday

Angels - any deal would start with Jered Weaver and Ervin Santana

White Sox - Crede, McCarthy & Garcia

Cubs - didn't mention any names but said that the Cubs have already called the Yanks

[BigWeiner]

The Yankees are only paying half of ARod's salary right now, so whoever gets him only pays about 10 million a year. I hope if he does get traded it's to a team that needs a SS, that's were his true value lies. I think the Astros should get him to play SS, they'd probably have to give up Oswalt, which for whatever reason they were willing to do at the trade deadline.

The Yankees are actually paying $16 million...$10 million would make him a HUGE bargain but I don't think that is accurate.

A Rod does have a no trade clause and will only go somewhere where he has a chance to win to wipe the 'stain' of his time in NY away. So while teams like Milwaukee and others sound good, it will have to be to somewhat of a contender or possibly Florida, as he has roots in Miami.

I think LAA makes the most sense. Ervin Santana and minor leaguers (maybe once heralded Dallas McPherson and low A pitching).

Chicago Whitesox makes a little sense, but hitting is not what kept them out of the playoffs this year.

SD for a hurt Peavy and aging Giles I can see.

SF makes sense, they need a new marquee to the organization, but he would most likely reject a trade there as they are rebuilding.

Florida for Willis and low A ball pitching, or maybe SS Ramirez and Olsen or something like that, to send ARod home. They would like to sell tickets with him and Cabrera as the center pieces.

PITCHING IS A MUST IF HE IS MOVED!!!
