Yankees Request Face-to-Face Meeting with A-Rod

Atlanta, GA 10/22/2007 9:56:55 PM

The New York Yankees have requested a face-to-face meeting with third baseman Alex Rodriguez to keep him from opting out of his contract and leaving the team. Last week, Rodriguez and agent Scott Boras held a three-day meeting to gather information and talk about his status with the team.

 

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.

 

Boras did not state whether the Yankees have offered anything to Rodriguez, but did say that he wanted to sit down with Hal and Hank Steinbrenner and see exactly how much money the team wants to pay A-Rod.

 

The Steinbrenners have cleared general manager Brian Cashman to make offers to Rodriguez and soon-to-be free agents Jorge Posada and Mariano Rivera.

 

Cashman has made it clear that the team will not pursue Rodriguez as a free agent if he opts out of his contract.

 

Rodriguez is guaranteed salaries of $24 million in each of the next three seasons from the Yankees, who receive $21.3 million from Texas as part of the 2004 trade that brought A-Rod to New York. If Rodriguez opts out, the Yankees would lose that subsidy.

 

As far as Rivera, the decision by Joe Torre to leave the team has a direct effect on his return to the club. He was a strong Torre advocate and the loss of his manager may cause the Yankees to lose their closer.
