Make us an offer you know we will refuse.

This one is going to be very expensive for the Yanks.

A wise move by the Angels. Let other teams dictate the market, then make your play. Hope it pays off for them in the long run...

Good, they have plenty of money. I think Boras should negotiate ALL Yankee contracts. :)

Nice Veterans Day avatar JFKJR.

I see your logic- but not sure if it really matters.

Welcome to the wonderful world of Boras....

Hey JR, what did BALFMA mean on your avatar last week?

This guy is going to get overpaid no matter where he ends up

I want the Sox to get Teixeira and trade Papi. We know these Dominican players were not shy about lying about their age. Papi is probably closer to 40 than 33 and isn't getting any younger. Tex, Lowell and Youkilis could share the 1st and 3rd base duties defensively while each would get about 30% of the games at DH (rest).
This would give the Sox 3 excellent bats in the line up and 3 Gold Glove caliber players to man 2 positions.
Could some one call Theo and make the suggestion, he won't answer my calls, LOL

Tex to Boston. Nuff said.

Scott Borass - two words...Andruw Jones.

For what it will cost most teams, let him fly. Seriously, a ten year contract? Who's to say he doesn't suck in five years from injuries. All the risk falls on the team that signs him, this guy can just take the check to the bank.

Smart move. Boras clients never sign in the first few weeks anyway so why make a deal only to know with certainty that it will be rejected and then used by Boras as a tactic to get the other teams to bid higher than that.

Matbe the Yankees can get involved in the bidding and drive up the price ;)

I think that goes without saying. I've seen very few (if any) who think Boras and his tactics are good for baseball ... though some have argued he's just doing his job.

Border wars.

Maybe it's my paranoid nature, but I get a sneaky suspicion Boras/Sox are in bed somehow. Sox overpay for Dice-K (arguably) and Drew (definitely).

Boras, and I'm no fan, is good for baseball PLAYERS. it is a union in a huge business and need someone to negotiate on their behalf. Nobody presents a case better for his clients than Boras. He creates a book of each FA highlighting their value. Nothing wrong with that, IMO. To my knowledge he hasn't been accused as lacking integrity or anything slimy.

What antics? The only thing he's done that ______ me off was his attempt for ARod attention during the 2007 WS. Other than that, I can't think of antics that have annoyed me.
