Cashman说了很久的～若A-Rod opt out，洋基将不会参加买他的行列， 目前在这两天的会议中，获得老板家的同意 那这样似乎，Boras如果要大合约，确定洋基不会要， 那若要A-Rod留下来，就是签比较便宜一点的延长合约？？？ 相关新闻如下： Yanks Risk Losing Rodriguez By TYLER KEPNER Published: October 18, 2007 At Yankee Stadium last week, Brian Cashman said he would recommend to ownership that the Yankees not chase Alex Rodriguez if he opts out of his contract and becomes a free agent. The comment seemed to hedge on his previous statements, putting the onus on George Steinbrenner to agree with Cashman’s stance. Over two days of meetings in Tampa, Fla., Cashman made his point. Steinbrenner and his sons, Hank and Hal, agreed. “Yes, I can reaffirm that,” said Cashman, the Yankees’ general manager, as he left Legends Field yesterday. “If Alex Rodriguez opts out of his contract, we will not participate in his free agency. That is accurate and that is definitive.” The strategy is a gamble for the Yankees, who risk losing Rodriguez if they do not sign him before the opt-out date, 10 days after the end of the World Series. Rodriguez, who is likely to win his third Most Valuable Player award in five seasons, has financial incentive to explore the market. “Both parties understand that they have rights,” Rodriguez’s agent, Scott Boras, said yesterday. “From the time they acquired Alex, the Yankees made clear that he had this right in his contract. Of course, what the team does and what the team chooses to offer the player, we leave that up to them. We have our rights, and they have theirs. Alex enjoys playing in New York, and we’ll leave it at that.” After another unfulfilling postseason, though, the question is how badly Rodriguez wants to remain. He went 4 for 15 in the division series, and for all of his achievements, he has never played in the World Series. The Yankees have lost 13 of their last 17 playoff games, and Rodriguez has absorbed the brunt of the criticism for hitting .148 in those games. In theory, he would not be as much of a focal point in another market, and he may believe another team offers a better chance to win. Rodriguez and his wife, Cynthia, met with Boras in California early this week. Rodriguez said several times this season that he wanted to stay with the Yankees, but now, Boras would not say if the goal remained to keep him in New York. “I’m not going to talk about what our negotiating stance is going to be,” he said. Asked if Rodriguez would consider the contract extension the Yankees plan to offer, Boras said, “Anything we negotiate with a team is something we’re going to keep as privileged information.” The Yankees would lose $30 million from the Texas Rangers if Rodriguez opts out of his current contract. The Yankees believe that if they drop out of the bidding, no other team could make Rodriguez the kind of offer they plan to make. The team is also preparing to negotiate with two other potential free agents, Jorge Posada and Mariano Rivera, whose futures were also discussed at the meetings. “We have not made any determinations,” Cashman said, “but clearly, we’d like to get the obvious players back.” Ben Shpigel contributed reporting from Tampa, Fla --
