Super-agent Scott Boras Wednesday told The New York Post that regardless of whether Alex Rodriguez opts out of his contract at the end of the 2007 season, Rodriguez's annual salary will still climb north of $30 million in the coming years.

Boras told the paper that the Yankee third baseman's current contract has a stipulation for the 2009 and 2010 season in which he is guaranteed to receive $27 million. However, a clause also allows him to additionally receive the higher of $5 million, or $1 million greater than the annual average pay of the non-pitcher with the largest contract. That ensures that he would receive at least $32 million in each of those two seasons.

Of course, A-Rod still has the option to opt out of his deal and secure an even larger contract. Though the Yankees have indicated that they are willing to break tradition and negotiate an extension during the 2007 season, Boras said Rodriguez hasn't changed his stance regarding in-season negotiations, and that it wouldn't be happening.
