Alex Rodriguez regrets shunning the Mets for a huge contract with the Rangers back in 2000, according to the New York Daily News.

"I went for the contract when my true desire was to go play for the Mets," Rodriguez said of the $252 million deal he signed with Texas eight years ago.

He opted to stay with the Yankees to keep from chasing money into a undesired situation.

"So to make the right decision just feels really good," Rodriguez said, "versus being taken down a road where I'm like, 'Oh, my God, where am I? Oh, $400 million to play in some place I hate? Great, I'll blow my --- head off.'
