How attention-needy does A-Rod and Boras need to be to make this announcement in the middle of the friggin' World Series??
I heard a Peter Gammons interview on Mike-and-Mike this morning. Pissed him off something awful.
MLB is pretty steamed about the timing of this announcement. Boras lacks class and respect for the game. It reflects selfishness.
I also mildly criticize the Yankees and Reds for conducting interviews while the World Series was taking place. Out of respect for the integrity of the institution of the World Series, teams do not and have not conducted such business, but at least the Yankees had the sense not to announce their managerial decision until after the series ended.
