$275 Mill + 10 Yrs = A Rod Still a Yankee
Author: RL
NEW YORK -- Alex Rodriguez and the New York Yankees have agreed to the outline of a record $275 million, 10-year contract, a deal that potentially would allow him to earn millions more if he sets the career home run record.
The amount of the guaranteed money was revealed by a person familiar with the negotiations who spoke Thursday on condition of anonymity because the deal hasn't been finalized. A-Rod and his wife met Wednesday in Tampa, Fla., with brothers Hal and Hank Steinbrenner, but the parameters of the agreement were set in place last weekend.
Bonds HR record is a wrap. A Rod will crush it in under 7 years if that. Now all the Yanks need is a little thing called "Pitching". The Marlins have Cabrera & Dontrell on the market as Boston keeps their eye on Cabrera with the possibility of Mike Lowell jumping ship to the Yanks. Where would that leave Dontrell? Possibly in pin stripes???
