I am glad you are relying on erudite legal authorities such as Mike and the Mad Dog. I don't doubt that these are the terms of ARod's deal and maybe even Unit's deal, but are you saying that this is standard legally required language? Not as far as I know. Do you even have a link to this being part of the negotiations with the Red Sox. If not, your argument is disingenuous. Even if this part of the negotiations with the Red Sox, that doesn't mean it is a requirement. The Red Sox could negotiate that term.
