Blah blah Red Sox whatever. Will A-Rod be a Dodger?

[Ghoulish Delight]

By discount, I meant length of contract. Had they signed him for the 5+ years he was reportedly looking for, I wouldn't have been particularly thrilled.

He's clearly no Cabrera, but at the cost of NOT giving up Loney, Kemp, Billingsly, Broxton, Krenshaw, LaRoche (there was talk of deals for as many as four of that bunch), he's a veteran presence from a team that won games.

And 30 is not over-the-hill.
