| DREW SHARP: Tigers should aim for A-Rod
Quote:
The issue isn't whether A-Rod is worth $30 million-plus annually. The issue is how seriously the Tigers wish to take advantage of what should be a consistently successful immediate stretch.
Go after him with a different tact. Put the onus on A-Rod. If indeed winning a championship and finding a more serene peace of mind are his preeminent objectives, then you would assume that A-Rod would accept a little less salary for a more productive environment.
The Tigers' odds of remaining a strong championship contender the next three to four years are better than the Yankees' because there's better young talent here than in the Bronx.
If A-Rod is really only about the money, then it only confirms the perception that he's nothing more than a shallow egotist.
