“Scott Boras is so brilliant,” the executive said. “He is willing to put out a number that is absurd and stick with it, and wait until others come to his level. No other player besides A-Rod is in the 20s and now he is asking for something in the 30s. That is $10 million more than anyone besides A-Rod has gotten. This is the same negotiating tactic [by Boras] as always and it is brilliant. In a way, he is teaching everyone to become comfortable with the $30 million number to the point where no one even blinks any more. Brilliant.”

RLA, I disagree, the Yanks aren't foolish enough to outbid themselves.
