Re: Boras hints that A-rod is likely to opt-out
Seriously, hes the best player in baseball. And as MannyHOF hinted, the playoff struggles are blown way out of proportion. Jeter, Posada, Matsui, Wang and Clemens are the goats for the Yankees in the ALDS, not ARod. He wants to come here, I'll take him.

What Kilo said. I've also just hated on him because he's easy to hate when he's wearing pinstripes. I don't have anything personal against the guy, and if he decided to come to Boston, I would absolutely love it.

the best thing the sox did this year was watch johnson leave ny
that cocksucker owned us while he couldnt beat anyone else.

Johan is in the AL and has been a top tier pitcher for awhile now. Also, he is 27 right now. So it is a bit different than Randy.

I think Crunchy has my view on things...in that Johan is a hell of a pitcher (a 3.33 ERA should have better than a 15-13 mark) but $30 million is an awful lot to risk on a pitcher.

Don't worry once he reups with the Yankees he'll be back to being a clutchless, useless performer, and not a True Dirtdog.
Again there is no way Boras opts out without getting an offer from the Yankees. And you bet your ass the Yanks will offer him a shit ton of money to stay. I sincerely doubt the negotiations get past the Bronx.

You got a link, source, anything? Or is this just pure speculation?

Did you read my argument why I think all money being equal - no way he goes to the Yankees?
Cashman will eat lot of crows when he pursues A-Rod after he opts out. |

I agree, just playing off the stupid True Yankee trademark.

It's speculation, but based upon what I've seen and read from Cashman and Steinbrenner's public proclamations it seems to make the most sense. They want him here, they have the most money, and that's what Boras wants. Rodriguez cares about his image, and wants to be known as the greatest player ever. That'll be a much easier title to ascertain as a Yankee. If he leaves, he'll always be seen as the player that couldn't handle New York in October, and I don't think he wants that on his reputation.

Re: Boras hints that A-rod is likely to opt-out
WEEI reported that Boras said that if ARod chooses to opt out he will be asking for a 12 year contract

Re: Boras hints that A-rod is likely to opt-out
Arod isn't stupid either. Why opt out if you plan to stay? The Yankees lose 7 million a year for the next three years, money that can be allocated to another player. Plus, if the Yankees publicly state that they are out of the race for Arod, it will hurt his chances since the biggest market team is not bidding. Boras's MO is to use one team against the other. When the biggest team is out of it, it can't help his chances.
I'm not saying he stays, I'm not saying he goes. I'm saying that if he stays, it makes no sense to opt out.

Re: Boras hints that A-rod is likely to opt-out
There was an article a couple days ago where an "insider" said that ARod instructed Boras to not use the opt out clause regardless. ARod is giving Boras free reign to bluff and banter all he wants, but if that article is correct, ARod aint goin nowhere.

If Mark Cuban buys the Cuns I can't think he'll have any qualms throwing lots of dollars at Arod.
I wouldn't be surprised to see Moreno do the same for LAAAAAAAAAAA.
If the Yankees don't want ARod, that's their prerogative. But I do think Boras will want ARod to opt out to at least see what the free agent market will give him.
Money is no option to the Yankees. If they have to spend an extra $7 million to keep him they will do so.
