A-Rod makes more money than the Marlins. I wish there was a way to better open a paragraph, but there isn’t. The man’s rich. And they’re pretty stingy.

Boosted by his new deal with the New York Yankees, A-Rod tops the major league baseball salary list at $28 million, according to a study of contract terms by The Associated Press. The 33 players on the Marlins’ opening-day roster and disabled list total $21.8 million.

“The Marlins? It’s amazing,” Rodriguez said. “And they still seem to find a way to be very competitive. They have a great pool of talent; they made some unbelievable trades, so they have great personnel people. To win two championships in 11 years, that’s really admirable, and I’m very proud of that organization, being from Miami.”

Also worth noting is that A-Rod’s actually slept with the wives of all the Marlins, as well.
