It looks like Alex Rodriguez will opt out of his contract with the New York Yankees and will become a free agent. With this, ARod will be free to sign with any team. Yankee officials have said in the past they do not plan to be one of the teams bidding if Rodriguez opts out.

Too bad, too. Rodriguez had a great year with the team, but I wonder if this is the first of many Yankee players leaving the ballclub. It started with Joe Torre not taking the Yankees offer (which was a paycut). With other free agents like Jorge Posada and Mariano Rivera, talks could be interesting for this winter.

After 12 years and 4 World Series titles, Joe Torre is stepping down as the manager of the New York Yankees. Yankee management had offered Torre a 1 year contract for 2008 with a base of $5 million per year, including incentives to increase total payouts up to $8 million. This came after Yankee officials had met for several days to determine the course of action to take with Torre after an up and down year with the Yankees.

This contract offer seems to be a slap in the face to Torre. The Yankees were essentially giving Torre a pay cut from his previous 3 year, $19.2 million contract expiring after the 2007 season. The Yankees positioned themselves to deflect critisism by offering this low contract and state it’s Torre not wanting to come back to the team.

It’s a sad day for Yankees and for baseball. Torre is a stand-up guy and 2007 may have been his best managing feat in his career. The Yankees were all but written off from having a winning season in May and June, let alone even making the playoffs. With a suspect pitching staff suffering from injuries, Torre was able to get the team to play good ball and earn the wildcard.

It’ll be interesting to see who the Yankees tab as their next manager. The play here is either Don Mattingly or Tony Larussa.

Interleague play continues as the Derek Jeter and the New York Yankees play the Colorado Rockies in Coors Field for a 3 game series.  Interesting reports from the Rockies camp all year long regarding potential trade rumors of Todd Helton.  The cornerstone of the Colorado franchise since he was drafted in 1996, talks of potential trades with Boston and now the Yankees persist.

The Rockies would be foolish to lose its biggest star.  The team is finally over the .500 mark and is only 5 1/2 games out in the NL West.  Let’s see if Coors Canaveral can hold on to its top rocket.
