Today's Arod News

According to the Daily News they are trying to work out how to compensate/share revenue with Arod in the event he breaks the HR record and that, plus some minor language, and a physical is all that is standing in the way of the agreement being finalized.  Milestone clauses are not allowed so they're trying to figure out how to construct it so that he gets some percentage of what the Yankees stand to make from Arod's quest to bring the HR record back to the Bronx.

Boras is working on the contract (as we all knew he would be) and keeping a low profile in Miami.

If we get through the weekend without a public announcemet, Arod will be officially reintroduced on Monday.

Yeah...
according to this article on ESPN.com, A-Rod used a couple of guys from Goldman Sachs as the go between in all this- starting with a phone call a week after Boras- I mean A-Rod - opted out. It also states that the parameters of the deal were pretty much laid out last weekend, and that yesterday's meeting in Tampa was more or less a face to face to show that this was what A & C-Rod truly wanted.

It amazing to me that none of this broke until yesterday. It also talks about the revenue sharing stuff, in the event of A-Rod's run at the Bond's... err, um.. Aaron's.. uh.. you know the all-time HR record.
