When Aaron Boone broke his leg, everyone knew the Yankees were gonna get a sufficient replacement whether it be by hook or crook. But I don't think anyone imagined it would have been the best overall player in baseball. The Red Sox tried to acquire Alex Rodriguez but the players union didn't agree with the arrangement the Rangers and the Red Sox had worked out. George Steinbrenner must have been upset at hearing that the Red Sox had a better offseason than the Yankees. So he goes on to kill two birds with one stone; finding a replacement at third and pissing of the Red Sox.
