剛剛看NY Daily News看到的，內容應該跟NYY版的報導差不多 http://tinyurl.com/ypg59y 內容重點： 1.過去幾天雙方有秘密幽會 2.根據洋基 "內部消息"指出，球團有意讓阿肉回來，前提當然是比目前波拉斯開的價低 3. 洋基不想跟波拉斯正面交鋒，也不跟他妥協: "他不能在房間裡" 4. 所以這意味著阿肉必須單獨與史氏兄弟對談 5. 洋基目前想先搞定Mo,然後再來實施" 阿肉計劃" 6. 提出條件是10年2億7千5百萬，比波拉斯預期的少7千5百萬 7. 經過詳細調查與評估後，洋基認為阿肉仍然是他們最好的三壘手選擇； "內部消息"說：阿肉會回來 8. 另一個腹黑猜測法說: 阿肉會降價選擇回洋基，藉此向球迷顯示"他並不是只為了錢",改變過去的形象 Yankees look to bring A-Rod back - on their terms Alex Rodriguez may be headed back to the Bronx after all -- but on the Yankees' terms. Despite all of the back-and-forth posturing between the Yankees and A-Rod's camp, the Daily News learned today that the two sides have been discussing a deal for the past few days to keep the two-time MVP in pinstripes, according to a source with knowledge of the situation. The biggest catch? The Yankees don't want agent Scott Boras involved in the negotiations. A high-ranking Yankees source told the Daily News that the team is willing to bring Rodriguez back on a below-market contract, one that would make up for the $21 million subsidy from the Rangers that the Yanks lost when A-Rod opted out of the final three years of his contract. In addition, the Yankees don't want to deal with Boras, who has been Rodriguez's agent since the slugger was 16 years old. "We will not negotiate with Scott Boras," a Yankees source said. "He cannot be in the room." The Yankees are also aware that Boras could convince Rodriguez to stop the talks. "We realize it could be a trap to get us back in the negotiations," said one Yankee official. "But we don't think that's the case." Rodriguez apparently approached the Yankees through a third-party intermediary. "He went to them," said the source. As the Daily News reported today, A-Rod will have to have person-to-person talks with the Steinbrenner brothers -- Hank and Hal -- before a deal can be sealed. According to the first source, the Yankees are waiting for Mariano Rivera to sign a new contract before finalizing any plans with Rodriguez, who is expected to take a 10-year deal worth roughly $275 million. That would be about $75 million less than Boras has been looking for, though most industry insiders believe there was never going to be a $350 million offer out there for Rodriguez. "Alex is going to be back with the Yankees," the source said, speaking on the condition of anonymity because the deal had not been made public. "The Yankees don't have a choice. How are they going to compete without Alex? They need him back." After monitoring the third-base market, the Yankees apparently decided that Rodriguez was the best fit for them at third base. Mike Lowell is the only free agent of note, and his numbers were overwhelmingly better at Fenway Park last year than away from Boston. Miguel Cabrera is the top name available on the trade market, but the Yankees were concerned about his work ethic and his habit of partying hard, something that dissuaded them from dealing for the talented 24-year-old slugger. Rodriguez opted out of the final three years and $91 million of his contract on Oct. 28, prompting the Yankees to hold their stance that they would not negotiate with him as a free agent. The Yankees never even had a chance to make their offer, as Boras had told the Yankees it would take a minimum offer of 10 years and $350 million to get Rodriguez to meet with club officials face-to-face. A second Yankees source said that the team believes A-Rod is trying to restore his image, which has taken a beating since Boras announced the opt- out during Game 4 of the World Series. By taking a contract below market value, Rodriguez would be showing fans that it wasn't all about getting the most money, and that he truly wants to finish his career in pinstripes. "Alex likes to be the center of the universe," the source said. "He wants to be a part of the Stadium going down and the opening of the new one. It's not about money. It's about his face being everywhere. This is the only stage that can guarantee that." "Most of this is about Alex trying to salvage his image," said another source close to the negotiations. "He's upset over the way this whole thing has played out and the way he's being portrayed now, because of Boras." -- 宇宙裡的微小塵埃 http://www.wretch.cc/album/AllyDai -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 219.91.85.6
