A-Rod was offered a one year extension at the end of last year, if they wanted to get rid of him they didn't need to sign the +1.

Which makes the fact that 3 games in he's out of the squad completely but not listed as injured even more baffling. What a waste of an import spot - think about if we had an import starting RB or DM right now. Unless he had some sort of Totori style auto extension after playing so many games. But if we thought he wasn't a starter then why play him at the end of last season when we were already cooked anyway.

I am a big A-Rod fan but the fact that he's been kept taking up an import spot but is barely a squad player makes me wish we had let him go. It's nonsensical strategy to invest a very limited resource (an import spot) on a non-essential function (squad filler)
