In an update to ESPN.com, citing ‘sources,’ Buster Olney reports that in order for the Yankees to retain Alex Rodriguez the team had to present an offer of at least $350 million.

…jeez, this is getting crazy…so, basically, the Yankees rumored offer would have been $100 million short…say that a few times, and see if you don’t get dizzy and sick

…so, what are we talking about here…if he wants $30 million a year, he must be seeking a 10–year, or 12–year deal…it’s really amazing, actually…i mean, it was only a few years ago that so many of us were lampooning the Rangers for having given him $250 million, thinking that would never happen again…yet, here we are reading reports that he wants more on his second deal…i don’t know if i am impressed or disgusted, frankly

…by the way, thanks to andrew b for the link
