    Eff him. I've always been his supporter, but his agent is as cheap and sleazy as it gets and he's only acting on behalf of his client, which leads me to think that they're both a pair of greedy dickwads.

    the way this plays out. i hope nobody even touches him for close to what he was making. that way his price is driven down to less than he was making before. i swear these team owners and gms gotta be talkin to eachother lik "let this guy just tank or hes gonna drive up the market price on everyone"

    Yankees front office leaking out information, whether it be true or false, to spite A-Rod and Boras.

    For someone who supposedly wants a ring so badly, you'd think he might learn a thing or two from Tim Duncan and maybe take somewhat of a paycut so the team can use that additional money to go out and get some more talent.

    Wouldn't it be a good idea for him to take less money knowing that he's putting even more pressure on himself to perform in the postseason when he obviously can't get it done.

    LOL A-Rod definitely wants to be an owner in the future.. So that he can buy players who can win a ring that he'll never be able to win as a player..

    See this is why he is never going to win a championship. His greed is going to get him nowhere in the playoffs. If dude performs in the playoffs, then he is worth 280 mil that the Yanks offered. IMO, no player should be worth near that dollar amount. If I were to pick a player to be worth the max amount, it would be Arod. But 350 is out of this damn world. Dude has got to realize that you have to win in the playoffs to get money like that. He already does amazing things in the regular season, but no team sits down and says "your worth this much because your great in the regular season, and our ultimate goal is to win the regular season". We all know its not damn like that at all.

    So basically, he's trying to set his LEGACY as the highest paid player ever in the major leagues, rather than carving his name among the greatest to ever win the World Series....

    This why the MLB needs a salary cap.

    The most hilarious part in this (yet again), is not what Boras is pulling right now, not what Alex is doing to his rep, but rather the fact that it looks like some owner is actually going to pay this money for him.

    These guys cannot say no. And as the agents know, all it takes is one idiot owner to set the player's worth.

    Well at least we (the fan) can look foward to Alex signing a contract of this size or close to it and having it set the market yet again for future players....which in turn sees our tickets, our beers, our soda, our food, and our parking continue to increase at a ridiculous rate to feed these owners' pockets to pay these salaries.

    You know why he wants that much? Because he already KNOWS that somebody out there is prepared to offer him that much. He's not stupid and neither is Boras. Somebody is going to give him $350M.

    giving Arod 350m will make the fans of whatever team he plays for pay like $200 a game for a ticket.
