HOLY FREAKING HELL!!
Damn, was I wrong.
Scott Miller is quoting a high-ranking source, but he is saying that Alex Rodriguez will be headed to the Yankees for Alfonso Soriano and a minor-league pitcher, with minor details to be worked out over the next few days.
I tend to believe this a lot more than the Ivan Rodriguez-to-Seattle rumors spewed forth by Justin Spiro, who, by the way, still hasn't returned from "personal matters within his family" as posted on DetroitSports.Net on Feb 2nd.
If this is true, Boston and their fans once again have to feel like crap. With all the work that Boston tried to do to restructure Alex's contract, only to come up short, and then have King George able to pretty much take on Alex's contract (sans the money that Texas might send along) has to just kill Red Sox fans. The sick thing is, George is the one guy that could take on Alex's contract without too much hesitation.
At least they've got a better bench than the Mariners. And they've got 1918, too. That's more than the Mariners have.
