The Red Sox are a perfect fit for him, IMHO - anywhere else he'll just be the big fish in a small pond, piling up 50 HR, 150 RBI seasons for 78-84 fourth place teams.

That is ARod’s legacy — great stats, great talent, doesn’t understand the concept of playing a role on a team to help the team win, regardless of what his role is. Making top dollar is his no. 1 priority.
At some point, a “winner” would settle for $20 million to play for the right team instead of chasing $25 million to play for a second division team. ARod isn’t one of those winners.
I don't know...the Red Sox are the only type of team with a chance to mold him into their way of doing things. If he goes to a team where he is expected to be the big star and team leader, they will never win anything.Jeez, we had enough trouble with "Nancy" Drew this year. I love my champion Red Sox just the way they are thanks. A-girl can be somebody else's problem.
