the Yankees won't be signing Arod after the stunt he pulled no matter how much less he'd be willing to accept IMO... they gave him every opportunity to open up a trade dialogue & like you said, he & his agent pretty much spit in the face of Yankee brass & their fans alike by not even allowing the Yankees to present him w/an offer while all along misguiding them by saying he was not planning on playing anywhere else but for the NY Yankees throughout the entire season prior... i don't see Hank wanting to have anything to do w/ARod anymore... ARod & Boras made their bed, now they're going to have to lie in it... the Yankees will continue on winning championships just like they've done throughout their 100 year history w/o ARod on their roster.

Good post. As Hanks first Executive moves, he cannot start with a move like back tracking on his original response to these two clowns. He own's one of the most famous entities as far as business is concerned and it would look very bad to go begging a-hol to stay. No way! It's important that he gets the message across that he's as tough as nails, just like his old man was.
I'll never trust this' team again.

Oh yeah, I forgot about the whle Hank Aaron thing. The dude is the only person in the entire league that does not have enough respect for HAnk Aaron to show up and pickup the award. He had a prior engagement? During the freaking world series you have a prior engagement when you are supposed be getting your own team into the world series. What a load of crap.

The things we forget when there's just so much of it. Geeesh.

the latest heard on SportsNY network... ARod & Boras are seeking a 9 year offer for $27 mil per... now correct me if i'm wrong, but that equates to $243 million dollars.

the Yankees were ready to offer him a $150 mil extension over 5 years tacked onto his already existing $91 million that he was owed over the next 3, which equates to 8 years for $241 mil.

so in effect, this moron is going to lose out on MORE money over 8 years when u prorate the fact that he can EASILY sign a $2 million dollar deal or more when his contract would have been up if he'd just taken the Yankee offer to begin with!

oy ve... what a couple of nincompoops! i told u guys he'd end up losing money by opting out, & sure enough, looks like that's exactly what's going to happen... not only did Boras' boneheaded decision cost his client millions & millions of dollars, but it also tarnished his image in the hearts of Yankee fans forever... he could've been an alltime great Yankee AND the alltime highest paid at that... now he's going to go down in history as the dummy that passed up a great offer so he could play for less in another uniform.

STUPID, STUPID, STUPID!

i just saw the 9 year for $27 mil per reported on SNY Sportsnite... what Boras & ARod want & what other teams will agree to pay will prove to be a big difference, just like Boras found out w/his last bigname client, Beltran.
