Re: A-Rod opts out of contract
[ QUOTE ]
Would Boras let him do that so that by next year the new Cub ownership is in place and he gets the deal he wants?(ownership after he retires, ect.?)
[/ QUOTE ]
Why does everyone keep saying the Cubs can/will/should offer A-Rod ownership options? Is that even allowed by MLB or the MLBPA?
If it's possible and you're Boars/A-Rod what do you think is the smarter decision:
A) Take $35m arbitration contract with the intention of maybe signing with the Cubs next year for 7/$240m and potential ownership post-contract while risking an injury that either ends your career or severely hampers your value
OR
B) Sign a 8 year/$280m guaranteed contract to the highest bidder.
