Because he wasn't going to play, wasn't happy he wasn't going to play and the Yankees didn't want that distraction. It's really that simple

He's a defensive liability at third. Even though the Yankees were sellers at the deadline, they are still in a playoff hunt. He got his send off at tbird. Girardi did a good job with it.

Being a good locker room guy and a defensive liability are 2 completely different things. I'm telling you that Girardi was even worried about him being out there for 1 at bat, let alone 3 innings. The 2 things don't coincide.

i dunno ... it looks like to me he hasn't been treated like the guy some people think he is ...
Arod had to carry a card around for a while telling him to remember that other people have feelings. No 'good guy' has to be reminded that other people have feelings. He may have become a better teammate later on but dude was an asshat the first part of it.

I didn't say he was an awesome person. We are saying that by objective accounts he is not a clubhouse cancer and is extremely respected, especially with the younger players who he talks baseball with constantly. It's no coincidence that the guys that have thrown at him and have public problems with him are older veterans that have experienced all his nonsense first hand.
Arod is not on the team to be a mentor, even if it is something he is good at. Arod is not going to be happy and there are going to be issues if he is getting 2 at bats a week. It's just as simple as that. Teams do not waste roster spots on a DH who has no on field value.
There are a number of off the record opinions that Arod is a significantly better teammate than Jeter.

Phillies fans give visiting Chase Utley two minute standing O in 1st at-bat and two curtain calls after home runs last night. sometimes we get it right.

Curt Shilling. A turd in real life. Of course he is entertaining politics as his next move.
I wonder with his strong political beliefs is he standing behind Trump?

He probably should not try that catch in a regular season game that doesn't mean much but I love it. Great effort, great catch, great fun playing baseball. I am no Cubs fan (Redlegs) but how can you not clap for that? Nice catch, glad he didn't hurt himself!
Yes, I am aware that I like Paul O'Neill and can't stand Donaldson. O'Neill is the perfect guy to comment on that though. Dude is doing a lot of Yanks games these days.
Since A-Rod might not play again. The player closest to 700 hr is Pujols. At the pace he's going he'll pass Ruth. Unless he breaks down. But he seems to play a lot
I wonder what type of offers Jered Weaver will get in the offseason given how bad he's been the last 3 seasons. He might need to take a one year deal to prove himself again.
