A-Rod: Best paid pariah in the history of sports?

It’s unclear what kind of playing time he will get given that the Yankees have already announced another player, Chase Headley, will be their every day third baseman, the position A-Rod played in his 10 seasons with the team.

But when he plays, if A-Rod produces just a fraction of his previous home run output, he can collect even more. He’s due $6 million bonuses for reaching each of five “milestone” home runs. The first would come with his sixth home run upon his return, which would tie his career total with Willie Mays for fourth on the all-time list.
