Around SBN: Knicks Beat Lakers With Familiar Strategy

Yanks, A-Rod agree to "outline" of 10-year, $275 contract

Breaking news. Links to come.

[editor's note, by Randy Booth] ESPN has some info:

Alex Rodriguez and the New York Yankees have agreed to the outline of a $275 million, 10-year contract, a deal that potentially would allow him to earn millions more if he sets the career home run record. The amount of the guaranteed money was revealed by a person familiar with the negotiations who spoke Thursday on condition of anonymity because the deal hasn't been finalized. A-Rod met Wednesday in Tampa, Fla., with the Steinbrenner brothers but the parameters of the deal were set in place last weekend.
Hmm. $350 million to start talks, huh Boras? I guess you can't live up to your demands. So basically this means that the $275 is the cieling this off-season.

Re:
Wasn't he going to get $30 plus in 2011 under the old deal? So wasn't this essentially a pay cut?

Re:
It sort of is a cut, because the yankees lost 20 or so mil from a-rod opting out, so if arod signs theyr taking that out of his salary.

Re: Ego-Rod & Boras

If Boras is still his agent, then A-Rod deserves it.

LOL

Re:
And not to mention Boras' bragging about how "anyone" who wants to talk to his client should "bring $35 million".

That baloney and the bomb he dropped during the Series is just too rich.

His Dad was quite good, back in the day.

But the acorn seems to have rolled far, far from the tree.

Re: Don't Mean to Hijack the thread, but...
Sorry again about the hijack - I just noticed it over in the Diaries under "HOLY COW".

I do feel badly that I've spread the stench that is Barry Bonds onto this fine forum.

Let us do away with it.

So if Boras is A-Rod's "agent" ...
... how is that the AP (Ron Blum) is now reporting that Boras wasn't even involved in the negotiations?

Re: So if Boras is A-Rod's "agent" ...
I heard rumblings that A-Rod was going to ditch Boras. Never heard anything after that...
