From the ESPN article:

" Boras said during a telephone interview that Rodriguez made his choice because he was uncertain whether Mariano Rivera, Jorge Posada and Andy Pettitte would return to the Yankees. Boras said it became clear that the others wouldn't make a decision by Rodriguez's deadline to opt out -- 10 days after the World Series.

"Alex's decision was one based on not knowing what his closer, his catcher and one of his statured pitchers was going to do," Boras said. "He really didn't want to make any decisions until he knew what they were doing."

This is a bunch of BS and had 0% impact on A-Rod's choice.

lol, that is so BS. "until he knew what they were doing". Umm, its the Yankees, they'll be doing Yankee things like spending money and contending.

But the Cubs did make a nice run, and LAA's Casey Kotchman fine young ballplayer and Figgies got a hose...
