ESPN: http://tinyurl.com/26lp3s Source: A-Rod's new contract would include incentives for home run record By Jerry Crasnick ESPN.com 其實沒有什麼爆炸性大新聞，這篇的重點在於，洋基除了原本的10年275M、 30M的破全壘打紀錄紅利金以外，還會另外付給阿肉9M，補償因為逃脫前合約造成條子少給他的金額。(這筆錢還是條子出，連本帶利未來三年共12M) 原本這種獎勵金在大聯盟是不被允許的，但是因為阿肉即將挑戰的是所謂 " 劃時代的里程碑"，所以大聯盟方面破例同意這種合約。波拉斯與洋基球團正在做最後協商，很快地就會白紙黑字正式簽約。 As the New York Yankees and agent Scott Boras move toward a 10-year deal for Alex Rodriguez, the most important number is etched in stone: If Rodriguez achieves all the goals laid out for him, he will finish with a total payout of $314 million. A source with knowledge of the negotiations said the two sides are getting "close" on a deal that will pay Rodriguez $275 million in guaranteed money, $30 million for milestones based on home runs, and $9 million in deferred money that the Texas Rangers owe Rodriguez in conjunction with his decision to opt out of his last contract. In addition, the deal is front loaded, with Rodriguez expected to receive $32 million in each of the first three seasons. Boras and the Yankees are now down to negotiating the final contract language, the source said. Rodriguez, 32, won his third career Most Valuable Player Award this season after hitting 54 homers and driving in 156 runs for the Yankees. Both he and Boras came in for major criticism when it was reported during Game 4 of the World Series that Rodriguez was opting out of the final three years of his deal with New York. Rodriguez reportedly rekindled talks with the Yankees on his own on the advice of billionaire investor Warren Buffett. Now he's close to signing a deal that would easily eclipse the record 10-year, $252 million contract he signed with Texas in December 2000. As the New York Times reported, Rodriguez will receive $30 million from the Yankees when he passes Willie Mays, Babe Ruth, Hank Aaron and Barry Bonds on the all-time home run list. Rodriguez will receive $6 million for home run Nos. 660, 714 and 755, as well as the two home runs that tie and pass Bonds for the record. Rodriguez, who has 518 home runs, needs 245 over the next 10 years to overtake Bonds's current total of 762. The chances of Bonds returning to play in 2008 and padding his total decreased significantly when he was indicted by a federal grand jury for perjury and obstruction of justice. Teams are prohibited from paying bonuses to players based on statistical achievements, but Major League Baseball and the Players Association have apparently signed off on Rodriguez's bonuses because the Yankees are classify- ing his home runs as historical milestones. "That mountain has been climbed," said a source. As the Associated Press recently reported, Texas is obligated to fund $9 million as part of a deferred compensation provision in Rodriguez's old con- tract. The money will be paid to Rodriguez, with interest, in $3 million increments over the next three seasons. -- 『可否答應我最後一次，如我所想你般地想我一天？最後，讓我再放肆且溫柔地向你說一聲──我愛你。』 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 219.91.100.201
