Billionaire businessman Warren Buffett helped steer Alex Rodriguez into reaching agreement on terms of a record-setting new contract with the New York Yankees, the Wall Street Journal reported Saturday.
Citing unnamed sources, the newspaper's website reported that "A-Rod" called Buffett and two executives from Goldman Sachs Group last week for advice after opting out of his Major League Baseball contract to become a free agent.
The third baseman has reportedly agreed with the Yankees upon a 10-year deal worth up to $275 million, including money for passing recently indicted Barry Bonds to become the all-time US home run king.
