Steve Phillips thinks the Yankees should trade E-Rod

I don't know for how long it will be up, but he thinks that the boos from the fans are getting into his head and hurting his performance. The boos won't stop, he argues, and E-Rod won't stop trying to do too much with too little results (relative to typical E-Rod performance).


There's a reason Steve Phillips is no longer the GM of the Mets, but he has a point. E-Rod isn't the toughest of players emotionally. There were questions of whether or not he could handle NY from the get go. Just good luck finding a franchise that would take on his salary and give up equal value for him.

^ lol agreed. i think the yankees have a better chance of gettin E-Rod to come around than finding a trade that would give them what he could do

Vote: Is It Time to Trade E-Rod?

Alex Rodriguez has been on the hot seat ever since arriving in New York and putting on the pinstripes. But A-Rod's strained relationship with fans of the team seems to have boiled over in recent weeks thanks to a slew of mistakes at the hot corner.

With 18 errors on the season, Rodriguez is quickly approaching his career high of 24, which came when he still patrolled shortstop for the Mariners. And with so many errors in quick succession recently, people are starting to wonder if the game's highest-paid player is developing the same kind of mental block that sidelined Chuck Knoblauch in the Bronx.

So what's your take, SportsNation? Is Rodriguez playing so poorly that he deserves the boos cascading down at Yankee Stadium, or are fans just bitter about his bank account? And would you want your favorite team to pursue him?
