A-Rod: Welcome Home

It appears that Alex Rodriguez (Pay Rod, A-Rod, The Extortionist) is coming back to the Yankees.

Welcome back.

Now, this is coming from someone who said "he can go to hell". This is coming from an A-Rod supporter. I liked the man before he joined the Yankees. Now, the rumor is that A-Rod's announcement during the World Series was all the doing of one Scott Boras. I am not a fan of agents for the most part. Publically, I think the perception is that agents are in the leech family and suck the blood from owners as much as they can. Agents have taken the love of the game out of sports. They have put the business into sports and taken it away from being a game. With that being said, an agents job is to get the most money he can for his client. I think Scott Boras is 51 % to blame for this A-Rod mess. 49 % of the fault goes to Rodriguez. My question is this, who works for who? Scott Boras works for Alex Rodriguez. Rodriguez is the boss, he wears the pants in the relationship, not Boars. I think Rodriguez's ego is as big as the Apple in New York but Boras has Rodriguez whipped.

Bottom line is this, if A-Rod wanted to remain a Yankee, he should have talked extension in that ten day window after the World Series. Alex Rodriguez was going to get his money, let's acknowledge that right now, the Yankees pocketbook is about the size of a Saudi prince. A-Rod could have remained a Yankee, he would have a new contract right now and everything would have been fine, had A-Rod acted professionally. Instead, he portrayed the selfish athlete to its fullest.

That being said, welcome back A-Rod. You got at least one fan in the Alvis family.

Alvis out.
