Sometimes when you read these chats at ESPN you find nothing of value, the same old stuff everyday, sometimes someone throws something out there that I hadn't necessarily thought of, like:
While Arod will almost certainly opt out of his contract, due to him having Boras as his agent and the fact that their will be a huge market out there for him, unless he tanks the remainder of 07. But still if you were Tom Hicks, doesn't these seem like must. That is approximately equivalent to Hicks dumping a 15 to 20 million towards Arod, to save the same amount of dollars.
I wonder how much tampering chargers could be brought up in this case. Like would the Yankees really have the option to sue Hicks for doing this, what if he gave him a 'contract' with one of his other businesses, would it still remain illegal? Like if he signed Arod to a $15 million dollar contract with Liverpool FC or his investment firm. Do the Yanks have the option to deny this if he remains under contract? Would Hicks have to do this in secret?
Anyone who's for the most part a self made billionaire is probably very intelligent and my guess is that Hicks, has thought of this previously, and knows if and or how he could get this done.
