The Yankees and A-Rod just finalized their deal. I have a very bad feeling that the timing is not a complete coincidence; I wonder if A-Rod was motivated to get it done before the Mitchell Report comes out in 44 minutes. I really hope his name isn’t in there…
UPDATE: A quick search of the PDF version of the Mitchell Report shows only three instances of the word “Rodriguez,” all bibliographical references to Ken Rodriguez. I feel a little better, although Roger Clemens’ involvement, while not totally surprising, really kind of breaks my heart.
