The Yankess first offer was 8/231 right?

That is 28.875 million per. If they just took that yearly salary and added two years to it the total contract is 10/288.

And it is some of your contentions that the Yankees would not have done that deal pre opt out? That the Yankess would draw the line at 8 years?

Or that if he asked for a little more than 1 million more per year to make it 10/300 the Yankees would have said no?

And that the bottom line is that Boras got Arod the most possible money he could?

Really? That is lol.

I'm sure thats how it goes with all contracts... "Hey can you toss like 1.3mil more per year?"

These attempts at logic are so lollercoaster. Do you not think that the yankees are were trying to use their ability to be the only option for A-rod to get a discount with their threats? It seems pretty apparent that Boras/Ghey Rod called their bluff and Yankees magically found some more dollars.

So you think the Yankees, with upwards of two weeks to negotiate, gave Arod their absolute best offer as their first offer?

What type of retard logic is this? Obv not. Thats why A-rod opted out and got a better deal.

Arod would have probably gotten a better deal if he hadn't opted out.
Though if he ends up breaking the HR record the $$$ he makes off that will probably offset a normal 10/280 or 10/300 deal
