看了這篇NYTimes的文章,才知道原來A-Rod以前和水手也來過同樣的戲碼
當時Mariner第一順位選上了他,Boras認為他值$2.5M,但水手只願意付$1M
所以Boras拒絕Mariner和A-Rod所有直接的接觸,一直拖到了Deadline結束幾小時前
A-Rod才決定跳過Boras直接和Mariner簽了$1.3M的約,
但Boras很生氣,還向MLB申訴,並打算讓合約失效
一直到隔年Mariner和A-Rod簽下延長合約,整個事件才結束。
咱們來看看這次Boras會不會有什麼反應吧~
Familiar Negotiating Strategy for Rodriguez

As Alex Rodriguez appears to be straying from Scott Boras’s game plan and
negotiating with the Yankees himself over a new contract, the Seattle
Mariners may be experiencing de'ja` vu.
Fourteen years ago, Rodriguez signed his first professional contract under
eerily similar circumstances — he broke from Boras’s hard-line negotiating
stance and agreed to lower terms without Boras’s direct involvement.
Rodriguez, who was picked No. 1 over all by Seattle in the June 1993 amateur
draft, held out for months as Boras demanded a $2.5 million contract. Boras
declined all attempts by the Mariners to speak with Rodriguez directly,
angering club officials and creating a contentious atmosphere. The Mariners,
who were offering $1 million, were prepared to walk away as the Aug. 30
signing deadline approached.
But Rodriguez, then 18 and preferring to play professional baseball rather
than accept a scholarship to the University of Miami, asked a family
acquaintance, Joe Arriola, to bridge the gulf between the two sides.
(Arriola, a well-known South Florida baseball figure at the time, had advised
Rodriguez to hire Boras as his agent.) Arriola called the Mariners on
Rodriguez’s behalf and arranged a last-minute negotiating session in Miami
that included himself, the Mariners’ president, Chuck Armstrong, Rodriguez
and his family.
Two days of talks at a local hotel, at which Boras was not present but was
occasionally consulted by the Rodriguez camp by telephone, culminated in
Rodriguez’s signing a contract mere hours before the deadline. The deal was
worth about $1.3 million — not far from what the Mariners had been offering
all along. Boras had advised not to accept such a deal.
Boras, whom Rodriguez kept as his agent, was furious that the contract had
been negotiated without his involvement. He later filed a grievance on
Rodriguez’s behalf through the Major League Baseball Players Association
that accused the Mariners of breaking rules by negotiating with a player
without his agent present. Boras wanted the contract voided, which would make
Rodriguez a free agent.
The case, at which other club executives scoffed, languished in baseball’s
arbitration system well into 1996 until Rodriguez signed a contract extension
with the Mariners and agreed to drop the grievance.
