A-Rod headed to Yankees trade hinges on flexibility
Texas general manager John Hart cites flexibility as the key reason for trading Alex Rodriguez to the New York Yankees. The framework would send Rodriguez and up to 179 million remaining on his contract for Alfonso Soriano and a player to be named, with Texas covering roughly 367 million of the deal and Rodriguez deferring payments to 2025. The move could save the Rangers about 125 million, but requires league and players association approvals and reshapes a franchise that has finished last in its division four straight years.
