You gotta hand it to A-Rod, he sure knows how to keep himself in the news.
According to Mark Feinsand and Bill Madden, the Yanks may be in secret negotiations with A-Rod. The key to these stealth talks is that Scott Boras is not involved.
"We will not negotiate with Scott Boras," a Yankees source said. "He cannot be in the room."
The Post is reporting something quite similar. Apparently, A-Rod is “concerned” about how he is being ripped in the press over the whole World Series fiasco.
Like many Yankee fans, I’ve gotten my mind around losing his production. I felt certain that Hank Steinbrenner and company would not turn back on their word to let A-Rod walk.
I’m so confused about this now, I don’t know what to think. I can’t see A-Rod leaving a penny on the table. But who knows, if Boras isn’t involved, that might happen.
Or is this all a clever ploy by Boras to keep the Yanks in the negotiations?
This is all so much more interesting than watching actual games.
All I know is I better stop writing articles about A-Rod. I spent four years defending him to all comers, then I blast him in the combustible A-Rod, Inc. article.
Do I now need to defend him again ???? Apparently so.
Just now on Mike and the Mad Dog, Feinsand said he expects A-Rod to sign with the Yanks "within the next 4 or 5 days."
John Sterling just said that the chances of A-Rod signing are 101%, or some such statement.
This turn of events has my head spinning. It's time to reach for a xanax and go for a walk. I’ll let this play out.
What's next? Mike Lowell for first base?
