I'm pretty positive about this. My professor, who used to be an agent and our class talk about this practically every day. He (Boras) and A Rod should have, in good faith, gone to the Yankees first, allowing them the make a bid for a new contract, before just totally opting out and asking for that 350. They should have had conversations about where they were headed, their expectations etc. That didn't happen. I'm not talking about Boras negotiating skills, I'm talking about the relationship between the club and his client. If he wanted any chance of getting 350m from the Yankees and Steinbrenner (the most stubborn man on earth), he shouldn't have allowed this to go the way it has (announcing it during the WS, shutting the Yankees out etc.). It's a PR nightmare. Something Rodriguez doesn't need at this point.
Yeah but players opt out of their contracts all the time. Gilbert is doing it, Kobe did it, countless other players do it without giving their teams the right to negotiate. Players want to test their value in the open market, not negotiate behind closed doors.
What does A-Rod owe the Yankees? He didn't sign with them, he was traded to them. He went through an entire season full of hatred from the media and even trade talks. Then, before he even opts out, the Yankees tell him they won't pursue him. That's a big slap in the face to someone who just carried the team the entire season.
I don't blame A-Rod for opting out but I blame him for the timing of the announcement.

I have always said that him opting out was inevitable and I fully understand that. I'm talking about from a Pr standpoint. He def doesn't owe anyone anything. I think we are in agreement here.

The only thing that's obvious to me is that he wants out of New York. That makes it pretty obvious he didn't want to be a Yankee anymore...I think you dudes are forgetting that he offered to take a paycut on his 10/252 deal when he wanted out of Texas. He was going to take less money to get to Boston, and Selig and the Player's Union told him he couldn't. That's when the Yankees stepped in and said they'd take on the whole thing.Team Longhorns
