I find it difficult to take Alex Rodriguez seriously when he gets all weepy about returning to the Yankees. Despite what he'd have you believe, it's not exactly as if he took a discount from the Bombers when he signed a record 10-year deal that will see him earn over $300 million when all is said and done. Nevertheless, A-Rod is talking about his contract once again, telling the Daily News that he feared former-agent Scott Boras was leading him him down the same path that saw Rodriguez shun an offer from the Mets in 2000 in favor of the $252 million deal he signed with the Texas Rangers.
