I still don't quite understand the thing about teams taking on just his contract. So isn't that basically like they'd be signing him as a high-priced free agent? I get that he makes a lot of money, but I'm not sure why it's seen as bad trade value in a sport without a salary cap where teams make worse megadeals all the time. Maybe I'm just too in love with his home runs this year.
Also, I remember reading it takes him through age 37, but doesn't he have some kind of opt-out five years in (or is it with five years left)? Could whatever team he's on opt-out from him, or is it only that he can opt-out from the team?
