A Rod reveals guilty fall change to Red Sox and better Yankees

As we have previously related, Alex Rodriguez It was nothing to be a player of the Red Sox in 2004, before being officially traded by the Rangers to the New York Yankees. However, a firm separated him from joining the Boston organization, as a executive was key and did not agree with the conditions of the agreed contract.

Recently on a podcast appearance: “Baseball Tonight”, hosted by ESPN’s Buster Olney, A-Rod brought to light the name of that executive who prevented him from being a Red Sox player, who didn’t like the idea of ​​Rodriguez sacrificing $ 40 million to facilitate a trade with Texas.

The former third baseman and figure with the Bronx Mules, revealed that it was then President Major League Baseball Players Association (MLBPA), Donald Fehr, who got in the way and threw everything away by refusing to sign the agreement that had already been authorized by the player himself, the owner of the Red Sox, the former commissioner of the league, Bud Selig and the Texas Rangers.

The rest we already know, months later the Yankees finally got A-Rod and it was with New York that he retired forever from baseball in 2016 after 12 seasons in the “Big Apple.”
