PEDS has advanced the career of Boras tremendously and has made him extremely wealthy. Boras owes a long standing debt to the use of PEDS. Now he tries to steer players in another direction? Please.

Exactly. Want to see him do the biggest dance of his life, make a rule that says once an agent has represented a player or players that test positive for PEDS, then they are no longer certified to represent a player in MLB contract negotiations.


Tie this nonsense to agents and see where it goes.

Mark my words, there's an angle somewhere for him. The next thing he does for anyone but himself will be the FIRST THING he's EVER done for anyone but himself.

Yep... It's another reason for him to convince a team to bid against themselves for a player.

Playing devils advocate here but the last time I looked this is a Capitalistic system we live in so why can't he get the largest pie he can for his cients and in turn a slice of that pie for himself?

It is his job, no?

In open, competitive, free markets, products are sold at a price that reflects their value. In the case of Scott Borass clients, something goes very wrong.

Buyer beware.

I don't believe Boras has an altrusitic bone in his body. My first thought was that he wants to take control of the off season conditioning to ensure that his clients don't get caught.

He is a shrewd dude.

boras has some tough issues to solve,,some of his own clients have been messin up with peds,,and boras would like to hide his head under the ground,,

boras would like to prepare all his clients with any store WHO can have the right vitamins do you believe that?? short playing time means less long term contracts ,less money for boras bank,,,,

i won't be surprised IF boras gets a 50% pay cut from those especial vitamins store do you??
means the store should pay boras top comission on any top sales,,,,

The owners knew, the media knew, the fans knew, and no one cared. All of a sudden it's an issue. Just like with politics, people are stupid and follow like sheep

unfortunately yes.

Someone mentioned that Boras has a degree in pharmacology. Draw whatever conclusion you want. At a minimum, it's an interesting coincidence.

He's just protecting his assets.
