GM views Yanks' roster changes as complete
As is the case every spring, the Yankees have a hot-button issue to contend
with. This year it may wind up being Alex Rodriguez's opt-out clause, which
gained steam coinciding with the third baseman's promotional book tour this
week in New York.
Cashman said that he is not putting serious thought into the possibility that
the two-time Most Valuable Player could be playing his last season with the
Yankees.
"It's just not something I'm going to be focusing on right now," he said. "We
're focusing on getting the team ready for '07. We're not focusing on '08."
Rodriguez's agent, Scott Boras, suggested to the Associated Press that
Rodriguez could secure a significant raise for 2008 and beyond by exercising
the opt-out clause. Rodriguez is set to earn $72 million over the final three
years of his contract.
Cashman said that there was little the Yankees could do to influence the end
result of the clause, which was built into Rodriguez's original 10-year, $252
million contract, signed with the Texas Rangers.
"That's a decision for Alex," he said. "He negotiated that in good faith when
he did his contract, and that's a right that he earned and bargained for. We'll
just wait until the end and see what he has to say. If he opts out, he opts out
."
