Not some super legend but a huge part of those 2000s Yankee teams plus a power switch-hitter. I'd imagine his rights aren't terribly hard to acquire.
I'd love for SDS to get the rights to Mark Teixeira one year
He left after 2016, same as Fielder.
If he does come back, it should be as a Ranger, not a Yank. Yanks already have 847 legends. Rangers have ... 2 1/2? (Young, Pudge, & occasionally Nolan)
I wouldn't say a huge part to the 2000's yankee team he came to the yankees in 2009 when they bought their last world series with CC and Tex. I would think he would be back at some point as the recent players are coming back ie papi and Mo

If he comes back he should absolutely be a Yankee. He won a majority of his gold gloves with the Yankees, a majority of his All-Star appearances, his 2nd place MVP year was a Yankee, and his only WS ring was a Yankee.

Well sure, if you could rings and longevity with a team as nothing

Modern baseball fans do count those as nothing, don’t you know baseball is played on a calculator now.

A-Rod WAR with Rangers: 25.5 over 3 years, so... I'll take an A-Rod card, please.
