Alex Rodriguez and the New York Yankees are finalizing a $275 million, 10-year contract.  Apparently, A-Rod met Wednesday in Tampa, Fla with the Steinbrenners and without super-agent Scott Boras. 

The news is a not surprising since there were not very many teams that could afford to sign A-Rod and most of those teams including the San Francisco Giants and the Los Angeles Dodgers were not very good to begin with.    In the end, that left pretty much the Anaheim Angels, Boston Red Sox, and the New York Yankees.  Where else could A-Rod go? 

It is obvious that A-Rod finally realized that it was a mistake to opt out of his original contract with the Yankees given what few choices he had to sign elsewhere.  In the end, when you are the best player on the planet, these mistakes get resolved easily.   Congrats to the Yankees and Pay-Rod!
