Even though A-Rod is hurt and will miss half the season, he will make more money this season than the entire Houston Astro's roster. A-Rod is scheduled to receive $29 million. The Astro's entire team will cost them about $25 million.
The sad thing is that Houston has just signed a HUGE local TV deal with their local Fox Sports channel that will pay them $80 million a year. The Astros COULD afford to pay their team more. They have just chosen to make a lot of money instead. They were even paid a nice bonus this season by MLB just to switch leagues.
Astros owners are rolling in dough. It's the fans who are getting baked.
