I wasnt try to say he took them just to get a deal with the yankees. I was only saying he took them to get a better deal. The deal with the yankees was big. More money, endorsements/get to live in new york, long term security, No-trade, all that stuff. He got the deal because of how he was playing on the roids. I still think it was a good investment..... Also I kind of respect A-rod for playing for the US in the world baseball classic instead of mexico. That impressed me. Even though he does come off somewhat as a jackass and I understand why people don't like him. Playing for the yankees dont help that.
