Re: possible reason arod signed early?

I'm pretty sure he would've already known when opting out. He called New York's bluff, and they gave him the 10 year deal he wanted.

I think you are totally misreading the situation. Boras convinced A-Rod the Yankees were bluffing and they'd still go after him, he was like ok Scotty. Then the Yankees stop talking with him, hes like wtf scotty thought they were bluffing. Then HE initiates talks with the Yankees, then HE agrees to keep Boras on the outside looking in.
Initially Boras told the Yankees it would take 350 million to even talk before they opted out, now he signs a 275 mil deal and he called the Yanks bluff? You are totally misreading what happened.
