[新聞] A-Rod slips leash and returns to Yanks

[Kennle (Mr.Bacillus細菌)]

In what was a bad day for the Scott Boras Corporation, Alex Rodriguez went to
the Yankees directly and apparently has all but finalized a 10-year, $275
million deal.

It took 32 years and nationwide scorn but it seems A-Rod is finally his own
man. Good for him and good for the Yankees. His playoff performances aside,
keeping A-Rod at third beats Mike Lowell or shipping out young prospects for
Miguel Cabrera.

By leaving money on the table, Rodriguez erases the stain of opting out the
way he did. The Yankees also don’t lose face as Alex came back to them. The
only loser is Boras, who had dreams of Rodriguez landing a $350 million deal.
Boras wasn’t fired but clearly he was circumvented.

Now two steps remain: Wrap up Mariano Rivera and convince Andy Pettitte to
return. Having Posada, Rivera and Rodriguez back should make that easier. It
certainly doesn’t hurt.

推 magicmac:Boras開的價錢本來就是拿來給人家殺的 整個事件發展下來
→ magicmac:A-ROD才是贏家 雖然不那麼光彩 洋基損失了條子的津貼但有
→ magicmac:了面子 290M/10y 不管是對A-ROD還是Boras應該都是還挺滿뜠
→ magicmac:意的價格吧 檯面上像是跳過Boras給彼此一個台階下換取繼쐠
