Alex Rodriguez, nicknamed A-Rod, currently plays third base for the New York Yankees. He previously played shortstop for the Seattle Mariners and the Texas Rangers. Rodriguez is considered one of the best all-around baseball players of all time. He is the youngest player ever to hit 500 home runs, breaking the record Jimmie Foxx set in 1939. Rodriguez was drafted first overall by the Seattle Mariners in 1993 right out of high school. Rodriguez became a free agent after the 2000 season. He eventually signed with the Texas Rangers. On February 15, 2004, the Rangers traded Rodriguez to the New York Yankees. On November 15, 2007, the New York Yankees and Rodriguez agreed on the "basic framework" of a 10-year, $275 million contract. This contract was the richest contract in baseball history (breaking his previous record of $252 million). Rodriguez stands to make millions more if he breaks the all-time home run record as a Yankee. The contract was finalized on December 13, 2007. On November 19, 2007, Rodriguez was named the AL MVP for the third time in his career, receiving 26 first-place votes out of a possible 28.
