first ive heard of it...but from nypost article

While Yankees officials went underground yesterday and Boras was silent outside of telling CNBC he is negotiating with the Yankees on Rodriguez's behalf after many believed Rodriguez went behind Boras' back, it's believed the best offer Rodriguez had before surfacing in Tampa Wednesday to meet with the Steinbrenner family was for eight years and $225 million. It wasn't known what team made that offer.

if that's true, then Boras/ARod got the Yankees to overpay by 2 years and $50M. wow

Did anyone read the Boras chat on BP a few months back?

Boras's chats are always interesting.

The guy is staggeringly good at what he does, and it's hilarious how the public perception of that throug the owners is "HE'S TOO GOOD IT'S NOT FAIR MAKE IT GO AWAY MOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM"
