A-ROD'S SPENDIND HIS A-WAD...




Maybe we can call him "Stay-Rod" now.
Yankee superstar Alex Rodriguez is eyeing a stunning new $25 million estate in Greenwich, Conn. - strongly suggesting he plans on remaining with the Bronx Bombers beyond this season, The Post has learned.
The Lake Carrington Estate is a sprawling 9-acre lakefront property dominated by a Georgian-style stone mansion spanning 35,000 square feet.
Inside are seven bedrooms, 17 bathrooms, nine fire places, a 45-foot-long indoor lap pool, a basketball court, a 20,000-bottle wine cellar and a 20-seat home theater. Outside are three other buildings, including a fishing and ice-skating hut.
And it would cost Rodriguez, who now lives on Park Avenue, an extra $5 million to finish the mansion's interior, which for now is just framed out.
Rodriguez's interest in the property comes as the Yankees have indicated they want to negotiate a new contract to avoid letting A-Rod become a free agent in November, when he can exercise an opt-out clause on the remaining three years of his existing contract.
A new contract could keep the all-star third baseman in pinstripes for the remainder of his career - and pay him more than $30 million annually.
