Sports: Alex Rodriguez is currently being discussed as a part of a trade to the Red Sox, apparently suggesting his current stay at the Texas Rangers is not working out very well. An article argued that "you too would have taken the money" he was offered, but I disagree. Strange as it might seem, I don't think every ballplayer (or person for that matter) would take every cent available, even if it meant being stuck on a bad team in the middle of Texas for ten years. In fact, Andy Pettite of the Yanks actually took less money to go to the Astros, while people still remember Greg "Where will he be next season" Maddux doing the same to go the Braves. At some point, the whole money issue becomes a tad ridiculous.
