My Buddy A-Rod Comes Back Home
Lots of ink has been spilled about my buddy A-Rod.  Will he stay or will he go?  If you have been a faithful reader (which I thank you for), you will remember that I predicted long ago back in the summer that A-Rod will stay with the Yankees.  How did I know this?  Yes, I met A-Rod recently.  Moreover, I also know how the business of sports works.  If I learned one thing for working for different law firms in paralegal, IT, and other capacities for over a decade is that there is lots of anger and shouting but most cases settle at the last minute before going to trial.  This wasn't much different in the A-Rod situation in that there was lots of huffing and puffing and bluffing.  As Steve correctly noted a couple of days ago, Scott Boras overplayed his hand by opting out during Game 4 of the World Series.  When the dust settled, the deal got done because A-Rod wanted to be a Yankee and they were the only team willing to paying him $275 million plus incentives.  (It would have been closer to $300 million because of the $21 million Texas Ranger subsidy over the next three years.)  For that kind of money, most everyone would "crawl back" to their former employer. 
 
I don't expect other teams to send the Yankees thank you notes but I think the humbling of Scott Boras is good for teams around Major League Baseball.
 
The most important thing is that A-Rod will help the Yankees get back to Baseball's Promised Land over the next decade and break the all time home run record held by his friend, the newly indicted Barry Bonds (as I discussed long ago).  As Thanksgiving approaches, A-Rod breaking the home run record (God Willing) will make me very thankful in the years to come.  This year's Thanksgiving will be complete if the Yankees re-sign Mariano Rivera and hope Pettitte comes back.  Keep the faith!  Go Yankees!  Happy Thanksgiving!
