A-Rod Negotiating with Yankees?

Shocking some people, but not others, is Alex Rodriguez's contract talks with the Yankees. The Yankees said that they wouldn't brung A-Rod back if he opted out. He opts out, the Yankees talk with him. Sounds Yankeeish to me. A 10/$280M deal has been thrown around. Is A-Rod looking to sign a below market deal to improve his public appearence? A-Rod is valued way higher than that. A-Rod returning to the Bronx would throw off almost all of the expectations set out for him, ie. the Dodgers abd Angels. How would A-Rod returning to New Yok change the Miguel Cabrera sweepstakes?
