Alex Rodriguez. hip surgery. expected to miss most of 1st half

He probably is done with an injury like that so late in his career but i really don't see him retiring because it would help the Yankees.

He's gonna do what most athletes do and collect his money.

He will collect his money either way, if the doctor says he is incapable of playing ever again the Yankees will collect the money from the insurance to pay the contract. If pujols gets struck by lightning and dies his family will get every penny of the contract, because baseball contracts are guaranteed. It's the same with A-Rod, if he is incapable of ever playing again he still gets every penny guaranteed on his contract, just not any of the bonuses

Of course.

Unless the injury is so severe that the Yankees get around the remaining part of his deal (through insurance) he will stay with the Yankees for the duration.

I can't see the Yankees getting off the hook any other way.
