Saturday marked the seventh anniversary of the 10-year, $252 million deal the Texas Rangers gave to Alex Rodriguez. Well, it's been almost four years since the Rangers gave up on the experiment, yet unbelievably, they're still on the hook for $3 million deferred payments to A-Rod in each of

This is a common theme I think we will be seeing over the next few weeks, teh clubs that have players named on the Mitchell calling those players out.
