Arte Moreno offered no specifics, but he extended yet another hint he had no interest in paying Alex Rodriguez anywhere near Boras' anticipated asking price of $30 million a year, should Rodriguez opt out of his contract with the Yankees. "Obviously, we have spent historically whatever we felt we need to do to make sure we stay competitive," said Moreno, pointing to the Colorado Rockies as proof that the high payroll does not always win. "From an economic side, obviously, we can afford to do -- within reason -- what needs to be done."
