Boras: A-Rod's Contract Hinges On Yankees' Decisions
21st October, 2007 - 10:29 am
ESPN - Agent Scott Boras said the instability surrounding Joe Torre's departure from the New York Yankees could impact whether his client Alex Rodriguez returns to New York or joins another team. Speaking in an interview with CNNMoney.com, Boras said the big void in the Yankees' dugout could hinder the team's interest in offering his client a lavish extension before his opt-out date of Nov. 10.

"I would say that state of flux is a grand issue," Boras said Saturday. "We're talking about a long-term contract here and to make that decision is difficult, knowing there are that many issues up in the air."

Rodriguez has until the 10th day following the World Series to decide whether to opt out of his record $252 million, 10-year contract and become a free agent. The Yankees plan to offer him an extension and say they would drop out of talks if A-Rod opts out. [READ]
