Gotta love it when Scott Boras feigns naivete:
“Intellectually, Alex is tying to understand the difference between his free agency and that of Mariano and Posada,” Boras said by phone yesterday. “Alex Rodriguez has never said he does not want to be a Yankee. Filing for free agency doesn’t mean that. Because Rivera and Posada are free agents doesn’t mean they don’t want to be Yankees.”
Just a guess here, but it could be the $30 million the Yankees lost when A-Rod opted out. That will be equal to about one year of his salary, which is pretty freakin’ significant.
Someone needs to tell Boras that it’s over. Why the posturing with the New York media? Clearly he can get better than eight years, $224 million from another club, so go and freakin’ get it. It’s becoming more and more clear that A-Rod didn’t want to come back, anyway.
