There's a very good chance A-Rod is gone. He's almost certain to cash in on this year and opt out of his contract. The Yankees have said (although they could change their mind) that if he opts out, they wont chase him. The reasoning behind that is that the Rangers are paying $8 million of his salary still so essentially, the Yankees are only paying $16ish million for A-Rod.
The Yankees, however, are not a good fit because they just dont need a guy like Bonds (Giambi is too similar). I couldnt see Bonds going to the Red Sox because I dont think he adds anything to the line up, they could chase Arod instead, and I dont think the fans would like it at all.
So, I think, his best bet are the Angels.
I also have a strong feeling that the Giants are going to try and chase down ARod. He will be a perfect transition from the Bonds era in San Fran and will continue to fill the stadium.
