¤ The Commissioner's Office, and the MLBPA have signed off on provisions within Rodriguez's contract that provide for special nongaurenteed bonuses, based upon homerun milestones. Under the agreement, Rodriguez will receive $6 million when he reaches each of five milestones: the career home run totals of Willie Mays (660), Babe Ruth (714), Henry Aaron (755) and Barry Bonds (762), and when he breaks the record.
