I could see Boras starting to lose some clients after this year. He plays hard ball with teams and tries going around the GM and straight to the owner and that steps on some toes. Main thing is with how teams are evaluating players now and how much smarter they are now. Teams know they can win with younger cheaper talent and aren’t gonna give out the 10 year deal anymore. Stanton got lucky with his deal and wouldn’t get that if he were a FA now.
Has there EVER been a statement and question a certain someone should absolutely never have made and asked publicly more than...
Kinda pathetic to see yourself as a message board knight in shining armor. How impotent does someone have to be in real life to resort to playing hero on a message board?
any new Bud Norris rumors?
"I am a victim, I will tell you. I am a victim."
"I am your retribution."
So frustrated waiting for news. I hate how impatient I am. 😂

They should lean into it. In the nba players are going for shorter deals on their own.
Even nfl players like Revis are betting on themselves.
The big guys want long term security and opt outs to maximize it. Grandal can take his 18 million and get more aav. But you have to produce and stay healthy.
Teams want to extend the young guys and those guys are going to bet on themselves more and make big arb numbers.

significant portions of the last few CBAs have been negotiated specifically to blunt some of the tactics used by Boras

Marlins sign Curtis Granderson to a minor league deal with invite to spring training. He gets $1.75m if he makes the big league team with another $250k in possible incentives
Get off my lawn!
How do you not make the fish opening day roster.

Speaking of the Marlins, I see they finally have good uniforms.
