Is A-Rod buying the Cubs?
Not yet, but maybe if he signs in Chicago, and plays in Wrigley for 10 years, and racks up over half a billion dollars in salary as a major league baseball player, and includes in his contract some percentage of ownership of the club:
"A source with knowledge of the situation says Boras knows which group is most likely to be awarded the team," New York Magazine reported on its Web site this weekend. "The source says Boras has already been in touch with that group about the possibility of a contract that could reach $30 million a year over the next 10 years while deferring a certain portion of money toward an eventual stake in the franchise."
Man, ballplayers have come a long way since offseason jobs as plumbers, movers and insurance salesmen.
