BORAS: AROD WILL DISCUSS WBC IN NEXT WEEK OR SO

Following up on their article yesterday, The New York Times reports today that in response to appeals from MLB and the Players Assn., Alex Rodriguez will re-consider his decision not to play for the WBC. Arod's agent, Scott Boras, said the issue will be addressed in the next week or so. Rob Dibble mentioned on XM Wednesday that per Gene Orza, it's solely up to each player to decide whether or not they play in the WBC. However, Orza is incorrect about this, as teams have a number of issues they must address about the many consequences of players' involvement. These include but aren't limited to insurance contracts, physical problems, etc. The fans are only likely to know about what is leaked from various executive offices.
