Default Re: possible reason arod signed early?

He has been offered the longest contract in history and apparently a larger contract than the Yankees were offering before he opted out.

So what if Boras said the Yankees needed 350 million? If Boras said they needed to give him 1 billion dollars, would it matter? The Yankees said very clearly by opting out the Yankees would not negotiate with A-Rod. Period. Instead they gave him the largest contract ever, and one that will pay A-Rod until he is 42.

The spin doesn't matter. A-Rod "crawling back" to the Yankees doesn't matter. If the reports are true he's got a better deal by opting out than he would have by not opting out.

Edit: and lol, Boras is such a villain so that when A-Rod blows off Boras he looks like a good guy.
