Show Me the Money


In a year when the free agent class in Major League Baseball is meager, one name stands out: Alex Rodriguez. The only disadvantage to those wishing to purchase his services is that he wants to be compensated at a level never approached in professional sports. Consider this: "A-Rod" opted out of a contract with the Yankees that was due to pay him $91 million. George King of Baseball America writes about "A-Rod's" great season, but he isn't sure about Rodriguez's final destination. Jon Heyman of http://www.cnnsi.com/ wrote an article on Tuesday, in which he concludes the Angels are the early leader for Rodriguez's services, although it's pretty much wide open at this time. The latest rumor is that Rodriguez and his agent, Scott Boras, are hoping the Yanks will reconsider their previous stance of being finished with "A-Rod." The New York Daily News had an article on Thursday, by Mark Feinsand, saying Rodriguez never intended to shut down the possibility of returning to the Yankees; he just wants to test the market. But, as we've learned throughout the career of Alex Rodriguez, money doesn't just talk, it screams.

Overall, I'm sure it's good.
Maybe dividing the paragraph a bit might be better.
Also, possibly people who aren't into sports news might not know who George King is..so it might be good to mention a few words on him.
Just a few references here and there..like on the name and where the rumor is from.
