A-Rod: future part owner of the Cubs?
New York Post article
Pertinent paragraph:
According to the magazine, Boras is peddling a Second City deal that could go for an average of $30 million a year over 10 seasons, with much of that cash backloaded for the 32-year-old Rodriguez - who would then be given the right to buy a chunk of the Cubs at the contract's conclusion. The report does not indicate who would pay for this proposed, precedent-setting deal.Member of the Official OS Bills Backers Club

Re: A-Rod: future part owner of the Cubs?
That would set an amazing precedent. I know that it has been done with GMs before (Billy Bean is a part owner of the A's after his latest contract), but a player? wow. I would expect to see this with a less traditional team. Maybe the D-rays or Diamondbacks would try something radical like that. IMO. Interesting to think about though.University of Oregon

Re: A-Rod: future part owner of the Cubs?
LMAO, that would be insane. Can you imagine playing next to a guy who...partially owns the team? I'd think twice before slapping him in the shower with a wet towel or whatever these meatheads do to each other. You might be hitting the streets after doing that.Comment

Although ARod denied it, I wouldn't put it past him nor his agent.
Wonderful timing.
Bud Selig is a complete moron if he doesn't do something about this.Comment

It's definitely tampering but I would love to see it happen!!!
I could be wrong but I don't think you can own a team while you're still a player."The academic support at Ohio State, there is no way you can fail. Even if you're giving minimal effort there is no way you can fail."

A-Rod would earn the share of the Cubbies after the contract expires. Also yes, it's tampering but I think there's truth to this story. This sounds like something that Borass would do.Member of the Official OS Bills Backers Club

Re: A-Rod: future part owner of the Cubs?
I could see Boras doing something like this, or at least being involved in this. However, with the spending spree the Cubs went on this offseason, they will be a very expensive club for that ball park for the next few years. I just dont see how they commit another 30 mill per year to a single player.
The Tribune may have hurt themselves by spending the next owners money like they did. Dont get me wrong, I'd love to see it, but I doubt it will happen.Comment

We might have gone on a big spending spree last season but we still have nowhere near the payroll of the New York teams or Boston."The academic support at Ohio State, there is no way you can fail. Even if you're giving minimal effort there is no way you can fail."

Re: A-Rod: future part owner of the Cubs?
I'd like to see the Cubs get A-Rod.
I'm a member of the Red Sox Nation and would perfer to see A-Rod go to a team that could use him... now if the Red Sox would like too dump Manny and bring in A-Rod I'd go for that too.
Part Ownership.... that's a crazy deal. He set the precedent for largest contract for a sports athlete, why not set it for player becoming part owner...BeyondMediaOnline.comComment
