Boras only provides what the players want. Dont be fooled. most of these players we watch couldnt care less where they play, if they win, etc. Its all about $$$$

and there is not ink drying on any contract that I know of.

Tex’s contract may prove otherwise

Here’s an excerpt from Article IV

If the Association has notified the Office of the Commissioner that a Player has designated a certified Player Agent or Agents to act on his behalf for the purposes described in this Article IV, no Club may negotiate or attempt to negotiate an individual salary and/or Special Covenants to be included in a Uniform Player’s Contract with any Player Agent(s) other than such Player Agent(s).

Once any player has notified MLB through the MLBPA that they are using a particular player, negotiating teams must negotiate with that agent. They don’t get to shut down negotiations just because they don’t like him. That’s why Frank Wren’s recent tirade about blacklisting Arn Tellem and Paul Kinzer is just so much gas. They can refuse to negotiate for certain free agents, but in practice, that’s all it means.

What did he do wrong? You people are just pissed that we aren’t getting Tex.

Don’t expect me to say Boras is ruining baseball because my team isn’t going to get one player. His job is to maximize the amount of money he can get for his client through negotiations. I think its funny that fans are always protecting billionaire owners and say the players are being greedy.

Somebody is willing to pay him more than us. That’s reality and that’s business, no hard feelings here.

and boras is doing his best to get his client the most money for the longest amount of time. that’s BUSINESS, people. any of us in Tex’s position would want the same for our and our family’s well-being.

Chalk me up as a guy who can compartmentalize my frustration with losing out on Teix and not project that anger at inappropriate targets with ridiculous statements like, “Scott Boras is ruining baseball”!!!
