Here’s the pitch: A-Rod book/movie proposal revealed

A-Rod: the movie?

The Post has acquired a proposal that 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 “steroid abuse” goes back to his time at Westminster Christian High School in Miami, according to the reporters’ sources at the school.

* An A-Rod “Hollywood consultant” called the New Times, “breathless,” to try to spike the New Times story shortly before publication. While the consultant 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!

* Jorge Velazquez, the man who introduced Bosch to A-Rod’s cousin Yuri Sucart, according to Fredric Horowitz’s ruling, threatened to “kill” Porter Fischer, the man who originally stole the Biogenesis notes from Bosch and gave them to the New Times, as well as his associates if Fischer didn’t give up those notes. MLB alleged that A-Rod, through an associate, acquired those original notes for $10,000, though Horowitz didn’t validate that charge in his decision.

* Bosch, MLB’s star witness, received a fee of “up to $250,000” from MLB for his testimony.

* The beginning of the end for Bosch and Biogenesis was the August 2012 suspension of former Yankees outfielder Melky Cabrera, who then played for San Francisco, as Cabrera failed an MLB drug test after using Bosch’s supply of illegal performance-enhancing drugs. In Bosch’s notebook is a draft of a letter to Juan Carlos Nunez, his liaison to Cabrera, ripping Cabrera for his “self-inflicted fiasco.” Bosch’s client base dried up, according to the proposal, although Bosch testified to Horowitz that he continued to work with A-Rod through the 2012 season.

* Dan Mullin, senior vice president of MLB’s department of investigations, “threatened Biogenesis employees with ruin” if they didn’t cooperate with MLB.

* 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.

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.
