Honestly I think that has nothing to do with his decision. I think it has all to do with how the fans and to a lesser extent how the front office treated him. Now that he opted-out and the Yankees won't pursue him, I doubt he will approach the $30 million he was looking for, he might even get less than what he is currently making, there are only a few teams that can afford his previous contract. A-Rod grew up a Met fan, the Mets are one of the few teams that could afford him, however given his history in New York I don't think the Mets would be a good fit, he would have been when he offered to join them at a discount a number of years ago.
