nbcmiami.com: "The spoils of the New York Yankee's 27th world title have finally made it to the MIA in the form of Alex Rodriguez's discounted home price.

• The slugger and Miami native has slashed nearly $5 million off the price of his six-bedroom waterfront mansion in Coral Gables, according to realastalker.com. Hurry up! Someone get him some more championship champagne.

The house was on the market for over $14.8 million, but now you can live like a baller for only $10 million. Several Miami stars have had to drop their asking price and it helped to get the job done. Shaq slashed the price of his Star Island palace and found a buyer in no time.

• Maybe A-Rod will throw in a pair of batting gloves or a playoff bat, preferably one from previous post seasons because those don't have a lot of wear on them since Rodriguez didn't get many hits.

In 2004, A-Rod spent about $12 million for the crib, but in this market dropping a couple million is almost like drawing a walk or being hit by a pitch. It's better than striking out.

• The fire sale could mean A-Rod and K-Hud may be getting even more snuggly and becoming roomies. Or it might just mean Rodriguez is sick of Miami."
