^^^I'm just hoping this "advisory" roll will be related to the minor leaguers, because I really don't wanna look in the dugout and see his sorry ass anymore...as far as any settlement with him, I don't think there's any reason for him to take a penny less that what he's already owed and I don't think there's any reason for the Yanx to pay him a penny more.
 
One thing about the Yankees, they treat issues and people pretty much in a classy manner. That man was treated with much more courtesy and respect than he had earned. Just glad that he'll be out of Dodge, feel good for Girardi now that he's free of all that melodrama.
 
Holy crap, I may have to start respecting the young Steins and the front office folks.....they are finally acting like baseball men.
 
Just what the H&H Twins need, another consultant or drinking buddy in the booth during games; a yes boy to be seen with on the golf course. More dead weight,

or-

will the Pharmacist be another GM homer, for Brian to cry too. He's already got: Reggie, Tino, and Stump.....so the Twins are jealous, they too need a drinking buddy, ...? What's Alex going to tell them they don't know? Anything spoken- !


as stated prior by another, at least he's off the field, a roster spot reclaimed....joy joy!!!
 
Nah, they let him save face while moving the franchise forward with a major pivot. This was not 'the plan' but that said its a fine glass of lemonade from the albatross lemons.
 
Arod is going to get paid over $21 million for doing nothing.
 
He'll be some kind of advisor and work with the kids in the minors until the end of calendar year 2017.
He is getting paid for next year.
Arod likes to work with the young players (in two languages) and they're very receptive- anyone with a TV and decent eyesight had to see he was often talking and/or joking in the dugout with the young/new players, especially the young Latin ballplayers.

Who knows(?), time will tell if he (and the Yanks) continue in this capacity down the road.
Basically it seems Hal called him in, gave him the bottom line and suggested or asked him if this (press conference) would be a less embarrassing way to wrap this up.

They agreed on Friday vs T.B. because he wanted to play one last game at YS and the Yanks obviously will use it as opportunity to draw a crowd and kick off the weekend where they're honoring the 20th anniversary of the '96 team on Saturday and retiring Mariano's number on Sunday.
 
Looks like the Yanks were probably ready and willing to release him and eat his contract last year if he flopped in the early going/first half.
Obviously they weren't willing to eat the last 3-4 years of the contract.
Not many teams would do that even at the average rate.

Girardi said he'll play at Fenway.
And I hope he hits a couple HRs - fuck the Redsox and the segment of the Boston fans who are wannabe tough guy gold plated dooshbags with a chip on their shoulder.

And just for the record for the hell of it regarding the Varitek/Arod "fight".
Moments after Varitek sucker punched (face shoved) him, Arod had him locked up around the neck and was ready to manhandle and pummel "Tek" before the crowd jumped in and saved Varitek's fat ass.

Don't need any rose colored pinstriped homerific glasses to see this.
Strictly 20-20 vision.

What Consultant is worth 21 Mil??? What can A-Roid bring to the table, as an overpaid consultant, a decade of back to back X 10 W.S.???

No consultant is worth more than a mil or 2 or 3, even Jesus of Nazareth (walking on water), the miracle is not walking on water, its walking period....

The H&H Twins need to fold, and outright Sale...

"Heartaches are Heroes when their pockets are full"......my ass...!
 
You're missing the point Matts. 1) he is due that money, period. 2) by taking g this deal, he is freeing up a spot. 3) he is saving the yanks from a lump sum payout is he were released, likely hitting lux tax and other tax issues. 4) yanks getting extra month evaluate talent. And 5) they let him save face and that restores some of the classiness of this organization.

He was getting this $ 9 years ago, no point in bitching about it now.

yep, in fact I did/am overlooked the fact he could of easily tormented us with another year.....as if he did us all a favor-....(and he did)....!

If the Hemorrhoid Bros has any balls, they'd of paid him to stay at home this year, next too.....eat the contract instead of the crow fed them...

and some bonus money too....!!

He's still got another 2 mos approximately, to shed light on what 'Big Donkey' is using to mask his PED use....
 
...don't worry about Ortiz being outed...I mean after all he promised us 7 years ago that he “wanted to get to the bottom of this.”


He added:

"I want to talk about this situation and I will as soon as I have more answers. In the meantime I want to let you know how I am approaching this situation. One, I have already contacted the Players Association to confirm if this report is true. I have just been told that the report is true. Based on the way I have lived my life, I am surprised to learn I tested positive. Two, I will find out what I tested positive for. And, three, based on whatever I learn, I will share this information with my club and the public. You know me – I will not hide and I will not make excuses."



...uhhh, OK Shrek, whatever you say.
 
Just have Lilly King get up in their grill. That kid has guts!

...fwiw, i gotta believe that Tex's retirement announcement was somewhat scripted too. Wouldn't be surprised if management let him know ahead of time just as a courtesy that he would not be in their plans and would not be resigned for next year.

Nothing is a coincidence.

Tex' announcement was "scripted"(?), and the writing on the wall was pointed out to him (?)....omg.....
...let's give him 20 lashes....what a heel.
I hope the children weren't watching.

Wouldn't be surprised if Tex knew the Yanks had plans for Bird being the 1b next year and it wouldn't surprise me if he just wanted to pack it in and maybe in the future stick around in some capacity with the organization as he has hinted at a few times in the past and recently in an interview after announcing his retirement.
It also wouldn't surprise me if he knew there wouldn't be a "big market" for a FA who will be 37 yrs old next April and has played an averaged of 82 games per season the last four seasons to this point.
 
Hello everyone, thanks for being here.
My name is Mark Teixeira and I'm announcing my retirement because the Yankees have told me I'm not in their future plans. Personally speaking, I find it hard to believe the Yanks would NOT want me back after my 8 yr contract was up.
It really is a big surprise....and the Yanks don't even have any young players they would want to play at 1b.
So, instead of looking like some kind of phony fraud, I wanted to be just like everyone else and tell all of you the personal details and discussions involved.
Thank you very much.
