MSNBC – Yankees reportedly agree to deal for A-Rod

Now it̢۪s the New York Yankees who are trying to trade for Alex Rodriguez.

The American League champions and the Texas Rangers were closing in Saturday on a deal that would bring A-Rod to the Bronx for second baseman Alfonso Soriano and a player to be named, a pair of high-ranking baseball officials said.

Newsday reported that the two teams have agreed in principle to a deal, and is contingent on a few details remaining.

Wow.

I should have included this from lower in the piece:

Rodriguez, the AL MVP, would be moved from shortstop to third base by New York, seeking to fill the hole created when Aaron Boone hurt a knee last month in a pickup basketball game, an injury that will require surgery. Derek Jeter, the Yankees̢۪ captain, would remain at shortstop.
