Yeah, but this time Boras isn't representing him. A-Rod is repping himself. So he might take less now than what Boras figured on.

Uh, there are plenty of players that play with broken bones. The Red Sox 2nd baseman Dustin Pedroia played with a wrist fracture or something the last couple of months of the season. Carlos Delgado played the whole 2006 season with tennis elbow. Pedro Martinez's shoulder was falling off for like 3 yrs before he got it repaired. He still pitched. You don't have to be flung around by others to physically exert yourself. If you break up the football schedule into 162 segments of 16 games, the physical exertion doesn't sound so impressive then. Same with hockey or basketball.

What players make is based off of the revenue teams bring in.
