CY young winners and WS champions signing Prove-it deals :dead:

Washed Boras needs to thank A-rod for the rest of his life
Soto is all Boras got left cuz I can't see anyone trusting him as an agent


The days of Boras being able to run everything by the Yankees when they don't really wanna spend like that anymore are over.

He was asking for Glasnow money at one point which honestly, isn't that bad of an ask, and Gumby didn't have draft pick compensation or Int'l pool money attached. That Nancy Mace lookin motherfukker can get 5 years and he's made out of porcelain, but Gumby's outta line for asking for the same even though he was instrumental in winning a world series?


With Snell I kinda get it, but between the tax and teams not spending, of course a market never materializes.

What would a guy like him have to do to secure a multiyear deal? If the answer is he can't because he's a pitcher, then Clark's gonna have to push harder to get guys paid sooner.
You really can't use the Dodgers as a frame of reference for the rest of the league. What Gumby should be looking at is Robbie Ray and Carlos Rodon completely shytting the bed once they got their big deals. Chris Sale, David Price, Strasburg, deGrom, Corbin, etc.

Which pitcher contracts have panned out the last 20 years? Verlander, Cole and Scherzer?

Rodon shouldn't have gotten anything because he's ass outside of walk years. He got that deal because Yankee fans who won't admit it now, were crying to management to go get him.

Montgomery shouldn't have gotten Nola money, but what Glasnow got was fair for Gumby to request. Otherwise, there's nothing he can do to secure a multiyear deal.

But he didn't want Glasnow money; he wanted more. Boras has a history of never budging or negotiating. Now, it's finally blowing up in his face.

Holy shyt, all he could get was a single year for $25 mil :dead: Contract negotiations probably messed up his whole offseason regimen too.

Juan Soto's next contract is gonna remind you all that Boras is still the king of this agent game.

If that's true then he should fire Boras.
He'd save a lot on agent commission fees.

:unimpressed:

If *insert any name agent* repped Soto, he’s gonna get a huge contract next offseason cuz he’s young & been good since he debuted & will be 26-27 when he hits the open market.boras ain’t got nothin to do with that :pachaha:

Boras has represented too many players and gotten them too much money to say that anyone could do what he does. Whether they are superstars or not.
