But he makes them money. He sells shirts, put's people in the stands etc. You can argue a player is not worth that kind of money but when you look at the residual income he makes a franchise...sometimes they are worth it, especially if they are a brand name....LaBron, Tiger...ect. A Rod can't win a play off by himself either......
