anyone who has followed the yankees for more than a week knows that a-rod has been struggling in the new york market. not always on the field, but certainly emotionally. the pressure gets to the guy and he falls apart a few times a season.
i would say it is better for him and the yanks in the long run that things went this way. a-rod needs to get back to a middle market team with no realistic shot at a world series, that is where he had his greatest successes and where he didn't live on the brink of day to day melt downs.
