Yankees: Time To Trade Rodriguez
in response to reader comment: heck naw he shouldnt

Nichole has a point, and technically he did nothing wrong (according to the rules of course). However, a great oppurtunity has been brought up, even though it's something you don't see often. It goes against the Yankee tradition of filling the roster with superstars, but the trading power of ARod right now is emense, and certainly provides an incredible opportunity for the Yanks to salvage the season, granted ARod agrees to say goodbye to the Bronx. What's more important: keeping one amazing player or building a well-rounded team? Can one man do it all?
