I mean, I think the major problem I have is that the Yankees seem to be outbidding themselves. have there even been rumors of any other team willing to go as high as 7 years /$210m?

say the contract is $270M for 10 years. imagine if ARod said that he will accept $180M for 10 years (33% discount), or simply $135 for 5 years. I think ARod could have 5 teams tomorrow shoving pens into his hands for those numbers.

? but none of those are as high as 7 / $210m

obv, 7/$210 is between the current offer (1 team) and the ones i proposed (say 5 teams). there probably would be interest.
the thing is, noone was allowed to talk money with FA's until yesterday, and yesterday ARod was talking with the Yankees. I don't think teams were able to approach ARod with anything like that.
