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.

A-rod continues the "Rebuilding My Reputation Tour". Did a Texas two step around that Toronto thing though. I sincerely think the guy is a really great player but he still comes off a little smug and not totally sincere. I'm really wishing him the best for '08. Wonder what Canseco has to say on the steroid/PED snide remarks on A-rod post Mitchell report. Hopefully he go sit down now.
