There is no, non-market, objective way to decide what a baseball player or anyone else deserves to be paid. And considering that paying A-Rod $26 million a year is a voluntary agreement between him and the teams owner, I really don't think its anyone else's business, at least in terms of trying to impose some other salary. If Tom Hicks felt like paying Rodriquez over $20 million a year, and Steinbrenner, felt like taking over the contract buy trading for A-Rod, that is their business.

Like I said in my previous post, such excesses lead to controversy within a society, and left unchecked, can cause the destruction of that society. Such corruption and disregard for the greater good has brought down more than one civilization. Ignore history at your peril.
