A-Rod's (rumored) deal with the Yankees involves incentives for reaching homerun milestones. The all-time leader in homeruns was indicted today. Coincidence?

Boras likely realized that he could net the most money by tying A-Rod's future earnings to the aforementioned incentives. But, by the time his former deal ran out he would have been too close for anyone to bet against him reaching the record. What to do? Opt out of that contract and negotiate a new one loaded with incentives. The highest bidding team would recognize the value of A-Rod chasing records in their stadium and jump at the chance. To ensure his pay day, Boras enlisted the help of his old friend from law school, now a federal prosecutor*, to vigorously pursue charges against Bonds. This all but ends Bonds' career, making his homerun mark more attainable.

*This part about Boras' law school acquaintance being a federal prosecutor is completely fabricated. As is the rest of it.
