Boras

I wonder
Boras always likes his players on the open market anyhow, and so it wouldn't really be a concession for him to make such a promise to Hicks, who was so compliant in getting ARod out of town when he wanted.
I really do wonder...
I was wrong
Genius
When Arod was 25 yrs old he got 252 mil for 10 years, iow, thru age 35.
After 7 years he opts out, and ends up going another 10 yrs. for the largest contract in sports history (eclipsing his own) guranteeing him a paycheck of over 26 million dallars when he is 42 years old.
I find it mind boggling how the burgeouis sports talking heads are all attacking Boras for being shown up.
Christ, the guy just signed his client to a record contract.
What more would a guy want?
p.s. Hell, Boras could have come out and said Arod wanted a BILLION for 10 yrs., and considering the result he got, still considered it a success.
I am
Think about, it is the same number of years as the Hicks/Arod deal and 45 MILLION more dollars and he is 8 years older!!! Won't he be 42 when this contract ends?
