It's not OK for A-Rod to take a pay cut, but it is OK for Sammy to?
Assuming this is correct, I smell just a tad bit of hypocrisy in the MLPA air. They nix a deal where A-Rod gives up cash to change teams, but make no fuss when Sammy Sosa does virtually the same thing. Hmmm.

A high-ranking official within the Players Association confirmed yesterday that it is "little more than a formality" that the union would not fight a request by Sammy Sosa's agents to have an $18 million triggered option in his contract dropped to clear the way for a trade.
