David Pinto, of Baseball Musings, pens an article in The Sporting News regarding how to appraise the true value of Alex Rodriguez.

Pinto uses Value Over Replacment Player (VORP) to determine A-Rod’s worth and comes up with $216 million over eight years.

For a full breakdown of Pinto’s evaluation, head over to The Sporting News.

The bottom line is, A-Rod is worth whatever someone is willing to pay him. I don’t think he will settle for less than $29 million a season, but with the Yankees out of the bidding, it will be interesting to see if he can find a suitor.
