Warren Buffett advised Alex Rodriguez to approach the New York Yankees and go
around agent Scott Boras, The Wall Street Journal reported Saturday.
The newspaper cited a person familiar with the matter, whom it did not
identify.
"A-Rod really loves being a Yankee," Buffett was quoted as saying. He
wouldn't comment on the substance of any discussions with the player.
The two became friends several years ago.
Rodriguez, on Boras' advise, opted out of the final three seasons of his
record $252 million, 10-year contract on Oct. 28. The Yankees had said many
times that if he opted out, they wouldn't negotiate because they would lose
$21.3 million from Texas for the final three seasons that was agreed to at
the time of the 2004 trade, money to offset the $72 million New York owed
from 2008-10.
Upset with developments after he opted out, Rodriguez contacted Buffett, and
the investor told him to approach the Yankees without his agent, the Journal
said.
After speaking with Buffet, Rodriguez contacted a managing director at
Goldman Sachs that he knew, John Mallory, who then got in touch with Gerald
Cardinale, a Goldman Sachs managing director who has worked with the Yankees
and their YES Network.
With the assistance of the two Goldman executives, Rodriguez and the Yankees
negotiated a $275 million, 10-year contract that is in the process of being
finalized.
"This year was a magical season," Rodriguez told MLB.com. "The way things
went, we came up a little short at the end. But other than that, I'm happy
with the way the year went. My wife and I finally feel like we're New
Yorkers."
