Never liked Arod but he has no problem talking about how he fell short. I respect that. It reflects contrition, respect for the game that he loves and the fans that supported him.
The guy is a pathological liar. He's says all the right things in an attempt to save his reputation. I highly doubt any teams contacted him after his final game as a Yankee.
Mike Schmidt of The Phillies was the greatest third baseman ever. He retired mid season 1989, not because he couldn't hit, but he couldn't field any longer. He had over 550 HRs and easily could have had another hundred more if he went to the American League and designated hit. But he wanted his entire career to be with the Phillies. Pete Rose was once asked who was the greatest Red he ever played with. Pete said it wasn't a Red but a Phillies player.....Mike Schmidt. Pete took less money to go to the Phillies in 79 as he knew he could win them their first World Series Championship and he did within one year's time in 1980.
It took Rose two season with the Phillies and he was pretty mediocre in 1980 during the regular season and WS. He tore it up against the Astros to win the NL championship that year but Rose - ironically considering A-Rod’s answer to not chasing 700 HR and an outside chance to pass Bonds - was mediocre accumulator from 1980 onward. He hurt his teams chasing the personal glory of the hit record in his quest to pass Cobb at all costs. The Phillies were winners with Rose in spit of him, not because of him.
If I remember correctly, the Yankees actually cut him off his last season. He may have been able to reach 700 as a Yankee is they would have let him. But they sat him before the end of the season and made him an advisor or something.
Nah, they made him a sometimes DH and then a sometimes pinch hitter because he wasn’t producing. He didn’t start the advisory role until the 2017 season.
Because he had a clause in his contract that would of paid him somewhere around 5 million dollars if he hit 700 and the Yankees did not want to pay him.
Dope or not people need to give the man his flowers and accept AROD was one of the best to ever step on a baseball diamond. He was a 5 tool player with the Mariners, Rangers, and beginning of Yanks.

700 doesn’t mean as much when he knows he wouldn’t have gotten near it legitimately. That may be true about a lot of others too. That’s just the facts of the matter.
What a sad story his career ended up being. He had the tools to be the greatest hitter of all time. But he had to cheat and take short cuts to get that dollar.
