There was an article on Yahoo listing the top 10 destinations for A-Rod. Well I'm putting a Blue Jays fans perspective on it:

1. LA Angels: Okay Im not totally anti Angels, hes out of the AL East and if the Angels spend the $25-30 million to get him, I wish them luck with piecing together a pitching staff. So go ahead spend your money and take a risk that him and your offense is going to score enough to make up for a lack of pitching.

2. LA Dodgers: Fine, its in the NL, out of sight out of mind. Though the Dodgers might be one of the few teams in the NL besides the Mets who have the ability to thumb their nose at baseball's pathetic excuse for a salary cap and spend like the Yankees.

3. San Francisco: Again, fine its the NL out of sight out of mind. However, I would have to question San Francisco's desire to have A-Rod. They just got rid of one super slugger that couldn't take them to the World Series why do they want to put all their eggs in one basket again? They need more than just A-Rod to get to the World Series. Omar Vizquel is old and won't be a gold glove short stop forever and their pitching isn't exactly stellar.

4. Chicago Cubs: Same as above in terms of going to NL. To me it makes sense for the Cubs. They have a pitching staff that is half way decent and they have money to spend way above the salary cap. This to me seems like the most obvious destination for A-Rod.

5. New York Yankees: Hell NO! Get him out of there, anywhere but NY.

6. New York Mets: See Above

7. Detroit Tigers: Why? They have a balanced team already. Why do you want to throw your whole team out of whack over one guy? Detroit at least would get him out of the AL East.

8. Boston Red Sox: See the NY Teams. That and the Red Sox created the curse of the A-Rod in 2004, why do you want to reverse that curse and sign the guy?

9. Florida Marlins: ROFLMFAO, Florida spend that much? Are you kidding? Who made this list?

10. Texas Rangers: They just got off the hook for half the guys salary why do you want to ante up and pay the whole thing? Especially since the whole reason for dumping him in the first place was so you would have more money for pitching which you still don't have and you want to put yourself back in that hole.....I don't get that, does George W. Bush still own the team?
