I think he wanted more money and a smaller field to hit more home runs in. He didn't care about the team or the game. He cared about his own pocket book, stats, and posing in front of the camera on national tv.

Everybody needs more money. As soon as you think you dont then something
happens. Yeah its a lot of money but people dont have problems with Bill Gates making more money than he can give away. As long as he earned it in alegit way and didnt steal it i have no problem with the amount of money A-Rod made. How do you know he didnt carer about the team? Because a player wants more money and wants to have good stats he doesnt care about the team? Thats the same as saying you dont care about your job if
you do things to get a good review and a pay raise.
No matter how much we wish players would stay with teams, baseball has been and always will be a business.
