Yankees won't pay Alex Rodriguez
On Friday night, at Fenway park Alex Rodriguez hit his 660th home run. He just tied Willie Mays. Alex made an agreement with the Yankees that when he hits this home run he will get a $6 million dollar bonus. The Yankees are not paying him the money because the contract says that he is due $30 million in possible bonuses if he hits five milestone home runs. The Yankees are not paying because since he was suspended all of last season due to performance enhancing drugs they don not want to advertise him to the public positively. Should Alex Rodriguez home runs count that he hit while he was on steroids? If the Yankees will not pay for his bonus did he really even hit 660 home runs? The MLB will not take away any of his home runs. Since Alex hit 660 home runs it has not been advertised anywhere. There are no t-shirts or advertisements that say he hit 660 home runs. The TV stations barely announced it. The actual home run ball has little to no value right now. Baseball didn't ignore the fact that Alex Rodriguez used performance enhancing drugs but baseball cannot ignore the fact that he hit 660 home runs.
