Unbelievable that Arod lets Boras open his mouth about what it might
take to sign him.......He's going to look bad to a lot of people if he
gets his 30 mil a year and for guy who seems very concerned about what
people think of him why does he need his agent yapping. Hell, why does
he need an agent anyway? I think he could figure it out for himself.

Boras is doing his job, and he just happens to do it better than
anyone else.

His job is to get his player the most money possible at all costs.

A-Rod will get his $300 million from the Angels, win several
championships, and break the all-time HR record in their uniform.

The Yankees wanted this to happen. Now they have a great excuse when
they don't make the playoffs next year.

A-Rod is the best player in baseball but he is and always has been a
"me" player, a disruption to the clubhouse, and a choker under
pressure. If nothing else he's proven that having the best player on
your team does not guarantee you a championship.

It's funny to hear the Yankee fans say "good riddance". He was never
appreciated here. The Yankees don't come near the playoffs without
him, but still, he's one of the most unpopular players on the team.
Who can blame him for wanting to leave.
