According to FOXsports.com, the Red Sox still may have interest in making a big push for A-Rod.  Since prior to the 2004 season, team President Larry Lucchino has always been extremely interested in acquiring the all-star.  If A-Rod were to become available, the Sox may just throw some money at him and try to sign him.

I flat out hate A-Rod.  That's the bottomline.  I hate the way he plays, I hate his demeanor and his attitude, I hate his ego, I hate everything about him except his regular season talent.   In the 2003 offseason, I was devistated when the Sox didn't land him and he went to the Yanks.  However, I do not today regret the move.  With A-Rod, he Sox would have NOT won the title in 04.  World Series MVP Manny would have been gone and A-Rod flat out stinks in the playoffs.  Thus, I am glad he wasn't a sox back in '04.

I hope A-Rod leaves the Yanks, because I can't stand him here in New York.  However, because of his regular-season talent I would definately be interested in bringing him into Boston.  It would be an ultimate slap in the face to the Yanks, especially if he actually did something come October.  I dont like A-Rod's negative chemistry effect on teams and I am fearful of him trying to appease a new city and attempting to conquer his playoff fears and struggles.  But the bottomline is it's still A-Rod and I wouldn't rule out the Sox going after him.  But as of now, I still hate him.  We'll see what happens.
