And he was going to make how much before he opted out, 27 million?
So is there any big raise, he was due $25 million and Texas still pays the $3 mill. So I guess yes, he is going to make his 30.... just Texas still is paying and the Yankees don't get a discount.
I defer back to what I stated above..... I called it.

The Yankees look like they get a steal, A-Rod wins the fans over, Boras doesn't look like such a greedy bastard, the fans are happy to know he "truly" loves NY, and the teams that "bid" on him can tell their fans they believed in the team soooo much that they wanted that missing piece A-Rod could give them and they tried hard and dammit, they just showed the fans how much they believe in their team so buy more tickets. MLB wins because the "biggest" name stays in their biggest market and with his salary not going up much, there will be a period of maybe more reasonable spending.
