The best thing the Sox could do is sign Arod immediately to a 10 year 300 million deal to be their shortstop.

Get a break on the price per year by giving into the longevity of the deal.

Last time I checked the Sox already had a shorstop. He and Arod hit about the same this post-season too....
Someone should change their underwear, sounded like a wet one.
babyfett thinks that Julio Lugo is as valuable as Arod.
A guy who batted .294 with 8 home runs? bwahahahaha
God you are clueless!!!
there it is again.
Anyway the Yanks are trying to make him an offer right now. Talk is 5 year extension for $140 mill. Of course that's for starters.

<< <i>wheres arod going?,andbody know? anywhere but yanks?i never heard this yet?

He can't test free agency until 10 days after the World Series is over. I have no idea what Leiascards is talking about.
<< <i>technically the world series was over before it started
Ok, but then still there's like 5 days left

Boras is the best in the business...I personally love the results he gets.

DENVER (AP) -- Alex Rodriguez opted out of his $252 million, 10-year contract with the Yankees on Sunday in what appears to be the end of his career with New York.
Rodriguez's decision, announced by agent Scott Boras during Game 4 of the World Series, makes him eligible to become a free agent.
Rodriguez loses the final $72 million in guaranteed salary in the contract, of which $21.3 million was to be covered by payments from the Texas Rangers to the Yankees. New York had said it would not attempt to re-sign A-Rod if he opted out.
Boras said during a telephone interview Rodriguez made his choice because he was uncertain whether Mariano Rivera, Jorge Posada and Andy Pettitte would return to the Yankees.
"Alex's decision was one based on not knowing what his closer, his catcher and one of his statured pitchers was going to do," Boras said. "He really didn't want to make any decisions until he knew what they were going."

Real classy
he s prob waiting to see whos else is leaving yanks-might be sick of george-ya can only take so much of him lol
Arod's next deal is going to make the one he received from Texas look small, and he's worth every penny. Performance on the field (2 MVPs in 4 years? Hello!) Increased attendance, increased ad revenue generated from increased ratings, etc. etc. the guy gets it done.
I can see SF, Boston, Anaheim, NYY, maybe even the Cubs all in trying to get him.
"Alex's decision was one based on not knowing what his closer, his catcher and one of his statured pitchers was going to do," Boras said. "He really didn't want to make any decisions until he knew what they were going." >>>>>
Even for an agent, this is about the biggest crock of chit I've ever heard. LOL

<< <i>Boras and ARod upstaging the last game of the Series during the game was a classless act. To them, it is all about them as if they are bigger than the most important event in the game. >>
In a sense, they are.
<< <i>Would love to see an infield at the new Citi Field with Arod, Reyes and Wright! >>
WOW! THAT WOULD BE GREAT!
I say Mets also get Jorge! I dunno who the Mets can get for 1st base, Carlos is good but someone better would be cool.
now that team will really fold when it counts!
LOL! happy day for Yankees fans! NA na na na, na na na na, hey hey hey GOODBYE!
Prima Dona ballplayers dont fit in NY yAnkee jersey, dont let the door hit you on your way out!
Arod the main reason they made it this year.
Unless they improve the starting pitching, they will be lucky to finish ahead of the Blue Jays.
Peace
45% complete.
millions of $ to hit a ball is rediculous though,nobodys worth that much,theres a whole lot better thing the could do with it in the u.s. than pay all these high priced bellhops in all sports joe di gangi made 56$ a week as bullpen catcher for yanks from 32-43-back when they played for love of the game, not endorsements and sales pitches inbetween car and beer ads

Most players worked in the offseason to pay the bills until the late 60's early 70's.
Free agency made a hell of a difference in player salaries.
I agree they are all overpaid, but what can you do.
Peace
45% complete.
I agree 100% and made the same comment in another thread. Don't let Troll Turd hear you say that. If you do he will claim you know nothing about baseball.
"The answer was in the Patriots eyes. Gone were the swagger and c0ck sure smirks, replaced by downcast eyes and heads in hands. For his poise and leadership Eli Manning was named the game's MVP. The 2007 Giants were never perfect nor meant to be. They were fighters, scrappers....now they could be called something else, World Champions."
We need a post season performer & A rod ain't it

Obviously, you know very little about baseball if you think Arod won't make any team, including the Mets, much better. This guy is on the verge of winning his second MVP in 4 years, are you kidding me??

Yep, 6 for his last 60 post season at bats with 1 RBI doesn't cut it when you're seeking $300 million.

If you want a regular season, attract all the attention, make everyone jealous on the team because he's eating up 40-50% of your team's payroll, will hit the crucial solo HR to either put your team up by 5 or down by 5-STUD, he's your guy!
