K-Rod forfeited the $3.1 million he was owed for the time missed due to injury at the end of last season. The Mets have taken Rodriguez off the disqualified list and will not turn his contract into a non-guaranteed deal.
The Mets wanted to convert K-Rod's contract to a non-guaranteed deal after he was arrested for attacking his girlfriend's father. He tore a ligament in his right thumb which caused him to miss the end of the season. The Major League Baseball Player's Association got involved shortly after. Now the Mets must now pay Rodriguez 411.5 million in 2011, and will owe him $17.5 million in 2012 if he plays 55 games next season.
Rodriguez is awaiting trial in November where he may face up to 2 years in prison.
