[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?
Manny Ramirez is a bad man
Re: Ego-Rod & Boras

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

Don't Mean to Hijack the thread, but...
Barry Bonds has just been indicted by a grand jury for perjury and obstruction.

A former ballplayer for the Pirates.
His Dad was quite good, back in the day.
But the acorn seems to have rolled far, far from the tree.

Oh. I don't think I have ever seen that name in the history book before...
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...
