Ivan Rodriguez's agent, Scott Boras, said he had lengthy conversations with the Tigers on Friday and that the two sides agreed upon the length of the contract -- four years.

Boras made his counteroffer to the Tigers yesterday and faxed proposals to two other teams. It looks like Boras' proposal to Detroit did include an out clause, allowing Pudge to get out of his contract after one or two years if certain conditions aren't met.

4 years?

Anybody that gives Pudge 10 million a year and/or 4 years is an idiot.

Well this is all face for the Tigers methinks. Go stew in Detroit Fudge.

Pudge is going where he'll be paid fantastically.

 

Anywhere else in the next 4 years, he would make about 29 million tops- you have to be stupid not to take the 40 million. 11 million more is not chump change...you know how many million dollar super cars you can buy with that money? Eleven!!!
