Re: AROD to Red Sox - \"F@#$ off!\"

Because all the Rangers wanted was for someone to take the contract. They did not want players in return.
No one would. Soriano was a throw-in for taking on 67 milion of A-Rod's deal.
The player's union put the quash on the deal, not the Red Sox. There wasn't any bad blood.
The Yankee deal is better than the Red Sox deal, but if this story were true, it would have relieved the Rangers entirely of the contract and allowed them to move forward.
As it is, the Ranger will be paying A-Rod for the next several years.

They would still be paying for Manny Ramirez.
