In all of the news yesterday, it was reported that, according to a source, the Yankees wouldn't deal with Boras.

A player's union attorney told Ken Rosenthal that that would be a violation of the collective bargaining agreement. Then that attorney told Ken Davidoff that the union was assured that Boras would participate in the process. And then we have a quote from Hank Steinbrenner, care of ESPN:

Hank Steinbrenner said there was no time frame for the negotiations and that it was up Rodriguez to decide whether he wants Boras to participate in talks.

"It doesn't really matter," Steinbrenner said. "No matter who's in the room, I'm going to go to a certain point in negotiations and that's it."
