A-Rod Reveals Depth Of Rift With Boras
17th December, 2007 - 5:15 pm
ESPN - Alex Rodriguez's desire to go it alone in contract talks with the Yankees drove a wedge between him and his longtime agent Scott Boras.

But the player revealed the depth of the hard feelings in a "60 Minutes" interview that aired Sunday, telling the CBS news magazine that he and Boras are not speaking to each other.

Rodriguez worked as his own agent in netting another record contract for himself -- $275 million over 10 years -- which was finalized Thursday. The three-time AL Most Valuable Player removed Boras from the negotiations after Boras announced Oct. 28 that his client would be opting out of his current deal.

When asked by CBS' Katie Couric to expound on his relationship with Boras, Rodriguez took his time before finally replying, "The whole situation saddens me a little bit. There hasn't been much back-and-forth talking." [READ]
