The telephone started ringing at agent Scott Boras' office the moment Alex Rodriguez filed for free agency Monday, and it hasn't stopped, he said, with teams already lining up to talk. Boras, who plans to arrive Sunday along with 10 staff members at the Hyatt Grand Cypress in Orlando, said he already has 15 appointments scheduled with general managers at their annual meetings. Not all of the meetings are scheduled to solely discuss Rodriguez, Boras said. He represents 11 other free agents, such as center fielder Andruw Jones and pitchers Kyle Lohse and Eric Gagne. Few teams may be willing to spend in excess of $30 million a year for a single player. "There's great interest," Boras says, "because teams involved understand what the revenues in the game are, and a player like Alex pays for itself. "There are the teams that you'd assume would be interested, and there are surprises. But I'm not going to acknowledge what teams are interested or involved. If they want to acknowledge it, that's fine, but it won't come from me." The Los Angeles Angels became the first team to publicly declare their interest in Rodriguez. New general manager Tony Reagins confirmed he has informed Boras they will explore pursuing Rodriguez; San Francisco Giants GM Brian Sabean also plans to talk with Boras, saying they'll "kick the tires," but termed the team's chances of signing him as "a reach." New York Mets GM Omar Minaya said he plans to talk to Boras next week but declined to say whether a meeting was scheduled to discuss Rodriguez. He said he left several phone messages Thursday for Mets baseman David Wright, telling him that he remained an integral part of their future and that he would be kept abreast if negotiations became serious with Rodriguez. "When free agents like these come up," Minaya says, "we're a team that's always going to be mentioned. I don't want to be specific about who we're interested in, or who we're talking to. But I will probably sit down and talk to (Boras)." Boras hinted that Rodriguez, who opted out of the final three years, $81 million in his 10-year, $252 million contract, is hoping to receive a 10- year deal in excess of $300 million. ※ 編輯: Ally1213 來自: 203.64.49.5 (11/02 14:33)
