NEW YORK — Because A-Rod agreed to play third base, Yankees General Manager Brian Cashman's (search) trial balloon turned into a baseball A-Bomb. According to multiple sources, the Yankees and Rangers have agreed in principle on a deal that sends Alex Rodriguez (search), the American League's best player, to the Yankees for Alfonso Soriano (search) and a minor-league pitcher. Though one source indicated the Yankees would assume all of the $179 million remaining on A-Rod's 10-year, $252 million contract that has seven seasons left, another report claimed Texas would eat as much as $67 million of the remaining tab. Minor financial details need to be worked out before the blockbuster trade, which will hike the Yankees' payroll to an all-time-high $190 million, is announced.
