The Cashman
While reading an ESPN chat, I came across an interesting interview with Brian Cashman.
Of particular interest, to me at least -
Interviewer - And if Alex opts out, the Yanks will not pursue him?
Cashman - If he opts out, we won't pursue him. It's basically economics. Any discussions will have to be prior to opting out. If he opts out, we will have to go in a different direction.
Hmmmm....
The whole article is a good read, for those of you interested in knowing thine enemy.

Re: The Cashman
And the "we won't negotiate if he opts out" is just posturing in my opinion.

Re: The Cashman
And I agree that this is a great opportunity to set a new bar on the market. That said, the Yanks can do so with an extension, and still manage to save $30 million over the next three years.

Re: The Cashman
Hypothetically, if Boras demands an average of $32 over 7 years (a raise of 5 million over the current deal, totaling $224), the Yanks would have to give a four year extension at 36 million to equal the value (and with the Rangers' continued contribution, they'd be paying a total of "only" $195). Then when Miguel Cabrera or Hanley or the Uptons or whoever hits free agency in 2011-12ish, Boras can point to Arod's $36 per as the bar.

Re: The Cashman
However, just because Boras pushes for it doesn't mean it will happen, if the Yankees offer a huge extension it might be hard to argue that A-Rod can get a better offer in the FA market

Who
So if he did opt out, He'd be dependant on a select number of teams bidding his price up... Then what happens if the Sox turn around & say, meh... we don't want to pay that much, & the same goes for other teams?
Could opting out turn around & hurt a-rod?

Re: The Cashman
Though Cash has made some incredibly stupid moves in the past (Igawa anyone?), I don't think he'll let A-Rod get away. Both are posturing.
And here's to a good series this weekend - hopefully we can do it again in October. Go Yankees!
