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

A Rod is as stratospherically good as claimed.

But even that stratospheric goodness is not worth what he'll be paid. One player just can't have enough impact on a team. If the ownership is willing to pay the price A Rod will cost without counting it against whatever internal payroll limit they will have then they'd be pretty stupid not to sign him if they can.

If instead they're going to take the approach of "the money for A Rod has to come from the money for the other 24 players" then they'd be stupid to sign him.
