First of all, I absolutely hate the Yankees.  So that being said, I am absolutely ecstatic about A-Rod opting out of his contract.  I'm sure my buddy on here (die-hard Yankee fan) is in complete disarray right now but I am loving it.

Could this be from the recent Torre decision?  Apparently not according to a statement from his agent:

"Alex's decision was one based on not knowing what his closer,
his catcher and one of his statured pitchers was going to do,"
Boras said. "He really didn't want to make any decisions until he
knew what they were doing."

Either way, it will be interesting to see what those players do.  This could become a rebuilding era for the Yankees and the end of their era as the dominant baseball team.  Torre, Rodriguez, who's next?

I hope it takes a snowball effect personally.
