How is that for a headline? Francisco Rodriquez’s agent doesn’t want to negotiate a new deal during the season because it causes problems for the player.

“Right now, we’ll wait it out until the season is over,” said Paul Kinzer, Rodriguez’s agent. “Normally, I don’t like to do that (negotiate during the season). It’s tough on the player.”

It seems at this point, that the 26-year old will hit the open market after the season and command a huge payday. The Angels best offer so far has been $34 million over three years.
