Alex Rodriguez and the New york Yankees have agreed to the outline of a 10-year, $275 million contract that would include additional bonuses if he sets the career home run record as a Yankee.

Parameters of the deal, which would be the richest in baseball history, were set in place last weekend when Rodriguez reached out to the club. Rodriguez and his wife, Cynthia, then met with Hank and Hal Steinbrenner on Wednesday in Tampa.


“After spending time with Cynthia and my family over these last few weeks, it became clear to me that I needed to make an attempt to engage the Yankees regarding my future with the organization,” Rodriguez said.

Basically…the way it REALLY went down is like this…
A-Rod and Boras tried to bluff out the Yankees to get over $300million …but the Yankees called Boras’ move, and said they were not interested. Boras and Arod got backed into a wall..because they got their bluff called …and reality is 1)NO TEAM was giving AROD $300 million and 2)AROD didn’t want to end up on some scrub team like the Giants for less than what the Yanks would pay him.
So..AROd had to come crawling back to the Yankees to sign a contract.

All in all… the YANKEES WON!!! The Yankees made Boras and ARod look like morons…and still got the player they wanted, for much less than he was trying to get.



As far as i’m concerned… I wish they didn’t get AROD back…cause he’s a greedy FAKE Yankee ….. BUT..at least they don’t have to trade any yougn arms for Cabrera.

   Question is.. which milestone will A-Rod have a better chance of surpassing? The single season homerun record of 73.. or the historic mark of reaching 800 career homeruns?

   Chasing74 or Chasing800

   800 Career Homeruns is a pretty sure bet (unless he gets injured).
   If he didn’t catch 74 last year… he wont ever do it.
