A-Rod may want more money

hot rod · February 7th, 2007, 08:13 AM

Today on the Mike and Mike show, they mentioned that Boras has made it known that Pay-Rod may exercise his option of declining his contract after next season to become a free agent. The reason is to ask for a bigger longer contract.

A-Rod is something......shouldn't say what I think. Whats the feelings here?

I could really care less what A-Rod does. I haven't had any bad feelings for him for a few years. If anything it ticks me off how a bunch of idiot yankee fans and the media are always all over him about stupid stuff.

If he wants to opt out of his contract, I don't blame him. The Yankees and their fans don't deserve him.

Agreed with Goose 100%

I have nothing in particular against him.

Boras is always predictable, he is always after the last dollar. It will become extremely apparent to him in a short time period that nobody else is going to pay any more than Alex is currently getting. Either he will fold his tent and quietly allow the option to pass unexercised, or A-Rod has told him that he wants a face saving way out of NY on his terms.

I hate the Yankees and I don't root for Boras clients unless they play for the Mariners, so I love seeing Alex Rodriguez lose. If he played for the Marlins, I wouldn't care about him.

Sounds like Arod wants out of NY to me.

Can't blame him.

There's no way Boras thinks he could get more money at this point - Boras is many things, but he's not a fool.

I have a feeling Texas is rooting for A-Rod to opt out... There's no way someone will pay more than 25 million a year though. This could only pay off in duration.

I could see somebody paying $25 million a year on a short term contract. Say like 3 years.

He could get him a lot more money in a long term deal, but you are right he could not get him the 27 per he is going to average over the next three years.

The thing though is to get more than the remaining 50M for 2 after he ops out PLUS the contract that could be signed then.

Otherwise he loses money.

Boras is betting that the market corrects within the next three years. It did last time, he needs to be getting while the getting is good.

obviously he wants to leave the Yankees. it's not about money.
