A-Rod book/movie proposal shopped

A-Rod: the movie?

The Post has learned a proposal has gone out to Hollywood producers and Manhattan publishers for an exposé on the Alex Rodriguez saga. The book project, entitled “Bad Blood,” has been acquired by Dutton, an imprint of Penguin, according to a source.

The proposal is written by Miami New Times reporter Tim Elfrink, who broke the story about A-Rod’s relationship with Anthony Bosch and Biogenesis, along with Gus Garcia-Roberts of Newsday. Elfrink’s story set the wheels in motion for Major League Baseball suspending the Yankees third baseman for the entire 2014 season.

Among the proposal’s revelations and allegations are:

• A-Rod’s use of steroids goes back to his time at Westminster Christian High School in Miami, according to the reporters’ sources at the school.

• An A-Rod representative called the New Times to try to spike the New Times story shortly before publication. While the rep is not named, Rodriguez did employ Southern California public relations guru Michael Sitrick at the time the story broke last January, and MLB alleged in court filings that Sitrick or an employee leaked the Biogenesis files to Yahoo!

• Bosch, MLB’s star witness, was paid as much as $250,000 from MLB for his testimony.

• Bosch and his father, Pedro, a doctor, had been investigated twice previously — in 2009 and 2011 — by Florida state officials, but both investigations went nowhere. The Florida Department of Health’s 2013 investigation of Bosch ended quietly and quickly, with a $5,000 fine of Bosch, after state officials ordered it shut down.

According to PageSix, Rodriguez has been shopping his own tell-all book project to publishers, seeking a multimillion-dollar deal to reveal the “full dirt of Major League Baseball’s tactics” he claims were used against him.
