Another Boras client - yuck. Still, the Yanks can't be sure of what their
chances are of keeping A-Rod anyway, and Teixeira still has another year to
go before he can be a FA. If all you had to do is send a couple of
expendable prospects (maybe the pitchers they received in the Randy Johnson
deal, and an Eric Duncan) to Texas, he might still be worth the risk.

I think the price will be high, even with the free agency risk. He's not
Rodriguez, but he is quite a talent. I'd be willing to trade a lot for him
if I thought he'd entertain signing a deal with the Yanks. I don't think
anyone wants Eric Duncan, though. That was a draft day swing and a miss.

any externsion signed would be wholely paid by the yanks. they can't extend
a-frauds deal and have texas keep paying a portion. when the 10 years is up
texas is finished paying.

Nice job missing the point, as usual, Ray.

Boy that would be awfully generous of NY.... "allowing" A-Rod to do
something his contract lets him do...

Sorry, charlie, but I just can't help but respond to stupid comments... when
someone suggests how magnanimous the Yankees are by "allowing" A-Rod to
exercise his own out clause... well, that just too stupid to pass up...

It shouldn't have been too hard to understand his point if you read the
entire post.

Rumor is that A-Rod's looking to buy a place in Greenwich.
