Accorrding to www.firejoemorgan.com, Mike Lupica dripped this bomb on Mike and the Mad Dog:
The Yankees finished last in 2007. You heard it from Lupica first.

Well, to the Yankee mindset, not winning the World Series is a tragedy; the way most other teams would regard a last place finish.

Lupica today in the News is talking about $400M over 11 years.

11 years from now $25-$30 mil might be today's $13 mil.

If he was asking $25 million per over 6 or 7 years, I'd be all in favor of signing him.

This just in. I heard on ESPN radio (one of their baseball mavens) that Boras was quoted as saying that A-Rod would be worth $ 1 BILLION to a regional/ team specific cable (sports) network. So, that raises the ante, or gives us a clue as to what may be looking for when negotiating an A-Rod contract. If that's true, let's say that a company wants to earn 150% on its investment (straight line) over 10 years. That would mean a 10 year, $400 million contract. Of course, there must be teams of accountants checking out that angle at SNY, YES, NESN and WGN, et. al. Of course, that doesn't include yearly profits that could be reinvested to accelerate the return. Does a contract of that magnitude now make sense to you? Later

That's just insane. No one is worth that much. Besides, teams ought to take into consideration the diva-like quality that A-Rod would bring to the clubhouse. It would be a total disruption.

What damage has he done to the Yankee clubhouse?
|

Jeter acting like a prissy little &$!@# more likely poisoned the clubhouse
