A-Rod Likely To Undergo Surgery, Miss Part Of 2013: MLB Rumors - MLBTradeRumors.com

Alex Rodriguez's struggles in 2012 may have been partly due to a hip injury, as Joel Sherman of the New York Post reports. According to Sherman, A-Rod was playing with a tear in his hip, which had previously been surgically repaired. The Yankees third baseman will likely need more surgery and figures to miss part of the 2013 season, says Sherman.

Nice that he waited this long to have it done!

If they only could have traded him in the A.J. Burnett deal. Oh well, maybe the Dodgers will trade for him. They don't seem to have an issue with trading for injured players with large contracts.

He should have considered the surgery just prior to the start of the post season. He's a great regular season player when he's healthy, but... the rest of the numbers say enough on their own regarding the post season - so I'll stop here.

Look on the brightside everyone, he has 5 more years on his contract! Oh wait....
