"Alex Rodriguez and the Yankees have agreed to a $30 million marketing deal, the last significant hurdle in a contract that returns the American League Most Valuable Player to New York, the New York Times reported on its Web site.

Rodriguez will make $275 million in salary over the 10-year agreement, the biggest contract in baseball history, the Times said.

He will also share in revenue the Yankees generate by marketing his home run milestones, the Times said, citing a Major League Baseball official it didn't identify. Rodriguez, who has 518 career home runs, will receive $6 million for tying totals of Willie Mays (660), Babe Ruth (714), Henry Aaron (755) and Barry Bonds (762), and another $6 million when he breaks the record, the Times said.
