But when he opted out who extended him for 10 years? Honestly the first contract wasn't so bad, it would be expiring now, and maybe he had 1 or 2 below average years, and won like what 3 MVP awards during the span of that contract, and not one since the extension. The Yankees were bidding against themselves and still have 6 more years left on this deal @ like 25 million a season.

If you get the MVP of the league who hits 40 plus homers, drives in 110 runs, hits .300 plays a solid 3rd base, 25 million a year isn't so bad by baseball standards. If you get a guy who is 40, coming off hip surgery, and not anywhere near as productive as he used to be, oh and you have 6 more years to pay him, than that is a bad contract.

Oh by the way, Kei Igawa is another one that just baffles my mind.
