Although I can't stand the Yankees, it seems like a dumb move on their side to part ways with such a gifted player. The Skanks batting is deep, but A-Rod and Jeter pretty much dictate the play for the line-up I'd say, and finance shouldn't seem to a problem for them.
Considering A-Rod's off to possible career highs in HR's, RBI's and batting average, and considering his age, it doesn't seem like a good idea to 'replace' him with someone else.
Unless, of course, A-Rod himself is tired of the Skanks. Which would be strange, as he's a home-town boy up in NYC. Personally I'd love to see him walk, I think he's a tremendous player, a text-book example of how the sport should and can be played.
