Everything coming from him these days is bad news. And he'll be pushing 39 assuming he does return.

I don't think he should. The Yankees wanted to give him that contract and now they have to deal with it. I think he stick around and collect that $100 million. That is the only way baseball contracts will ever come under control.

However, it would be interesting to see what would happen if the Yankees tried to void his deal.

If memory serves me well, the Yanks assumed the contract that A-Rod had signed with Texas.

The MLB Players Union, one of the strongest unions anywhere, would never allow that contract to be renegotiated without Alex's consent, which I personally doubt he would ever do.

I don't see this happening. The word of a drug dealer against the players union is not a battle I see Bud fighting.
