Alex Rodriguez, Scott Boras No Longer BFF's

After the debacle that was Alex Rodriguez's opt-out adventure this offseason, along with his eventual return to the Yankees, there was rampant speculation that Rodriguez and his agent Scott Boras had some tension in their relationship. It was confirmed during Sunday night's interview that A-Rod did for 60 Minutes:
The Yankees third baseman is extremely upset with the way Boras handled the initial decision to opt out of his contract with the Bombers. (...) When asked by Katie Couric to describe his relationship with Boras, who has advised A-Rod since he was 18, Rodriguez took a long pause, before Couric pressed him for an answer.

"The whole situation saddens me a little bit," Rodriguez said. "There hasn't been much back-and-forth talking."

When asked if he is speaking to Boras, Rodriguez said, "Not right now." He then was asked if that could change and he said, "We'll see."
The richest baseball player and the richest baseball agent not speaking? Baseball's ultimate power couple on the outs? I haven't felt this empty since Heidi and Lauren from The Hills stopped speaking to each other.
