Re: possible reason arod signed early?
[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ] Boras got greedy, as usual, and it cost them in the end. [/ QUOTE ] What did it cost them? [/ QUOTE ] Compared to his original asking price of 300-350 mill. And the damage to his reputation and relationship with A-Rod. You got to wonder how that's going to work now. Does ARod keep him? Of course Boras wants to stay, the money's too good to leave. They'll probably be fine but I would think there's a loss of a little trust between them now. Unless of course this was planned out somehow.

Re: possible reason arod signed early?
"Asking price" doesn't matter. What's the best deal A-Rod would have gotten had he not opted out? Is it better or worse than what he did get?

Re: possible reason arod signed early?
Would the Yankees have offered him an extension totaling 10 years at a total of 290 or so if he and Boras had negotiated? I don't think the Yankees would have just given him the extra 20 million since they had at least a little bargaining power.
That's the only question to answer as far as whether A-Rod miscalculated or whatever.

Re: possible reason arod signed early?
They got killed in the deal because he almost ruined what little rep Arod had. Arod is now back to 2006 status...he's gonna get booed by the home crowd 24/7.
Coming off an amazing year I highly doubt that Boras and Arod thought they would only be getting 27.5 per year when the last contract was 25 per year. The incentive is kind of meaningless because the money the Yankees will generate if Arod chases and breaks the HR record will be insane

[/ QUOTE ] but who is the next highest paid player? Manny? Jeter? is anybody over $20m? I forget, but when thought about in that light, $27.5m x 10 is a pretty sweet deal for a player who is likely to decline in a couple years

Teams will overpay esp in a market with so few options. And I'm sure that the assumption boras was going on

Alright, so the money is fine. They still lose on the rep and relationship points. [/ QUOTE ] A shame, because these totally count if they tie with Boston at the end of the season next year. It would seem that Alex/Boras managed to once again get a team to bid against itself, and this time after that team said it wouldn't!
