The assumption Buster Olney has gone with all week is that Boras surely had something worked out, something in place of the $75 million had had, guaranteed, or the $225 million more the Yankees would have happily paid him?
If that were the case, would Boras be speaking in a tone that sounds suspiciously like a whine?
Boras maintained Wednesday that the Yankees should treat A-Rod the same way they deal with reliever Mariano Rivera and catcher Jorge Posada, who also are free agents.
"Why is it that Alex is the only Yankee who can't become a free agent?" Boras said Wednesday. "That question was not answered, and we think it's a question that's going to be asked for years to come."
Or not.

Yeah, Boras had nothing to do with the way A-Rod BECAME a free agent. Boras is a master of the new rules for the making and maintaining of celebrity: blantant manufacturing of interest for an issue/client, open response to the expected refutation/demonization of both the manufacturing of the interest and the treatment of issue/client, quick move into the role of victim through simplistic rhetoric. Wait, Boras should take over for Dick Cheney.
