If you are going to sign for 5 years, honour your contract and play for that team for 5 years NOT 3 years. He wasn't that good in his first 2 years then suddenly he decided to show up in his 3rd year and play well. That is probably because he is selling himself again. I hope the Yankees sign him for 5 years then play crappy the first 2 seasons as well (injuries and inconsistency).Then in his 3rd year when he is supposed to play well to himself, he plays crappy again.

AJ negotiated the right to void the contract and he did. He did not break the terms, nor the spirit, of the contract.
If we did not offer him that void-able option, we never would have signed him.
