ALEX SHIPPING OUT?
Okay, I'll preface this by saying that I thought using "A-Rod" as a nickname for Alex Rodriguez was phony from day one. It's a stupid, crappy nickname and I don't care if Rodriguez likes and/or uses it. I'm calling him by his first name. It's more classy.
Down to business here. New York Newsday is reporting a truly twisted three-way trade involving Nomar Garciaparra and Alex Rodriguez. Teams involved: Boston Red Sox, Texas Rangers, Anaheim Angels.
to Boston: Alex Rodriguez
to Anaheim: Nomar Garciaparra
to Texas: David Eckstein, "a few pitchers"
And yes, the Rangers would send some money to defray some of Alex's contract.
Two other interesting and potentially hilarious tidbits from the article are that the possibility of going to Boston intrigues Alex because he would be with a passionate fan base and an ownership willing to spend to win. The arrticle also debunks the possibility of Alex going to the Yankees because either Jeter or Alex would have to move to 2B or 3B, and because "Jeter doesn't like Rodriguez anymore." I'm not sure why, but I found that frigging hilarious.
