Alex Rodriguez has decided to opt out of the remaining portion of his $252 million contract with the Yankees, ESPN reports. His agent, Scott Boras, said the uncertain return of Mariano Rivera, Jorge Posada and Andy Pettitte was the deciding factor. “He really didn’t want to make any decisions until he knew what they were doing,” Boras said. Rodriguez has until 10 days after the end of the World Series to opt out of his deal, but it looks like he’s already decided. If Yankees GM Brian Cashman follows through with his promise not to negotiate with Rodriguez if he opted out, A-Rod will be the hottest free agent on the market and this could start an offseason of upheaval in the Bronx.
