If he wasn't good at what he does, he'd be made to look a fool every offseason. This is just a rare occurrence where his client may not get top dollar.
-
But if he's playing that well, the player would seem to have a grievance for not reaching his vesting option.
-
We don't. I'm not sure that has to do with anything tho?
-
But let's just keep the loss to one year rather than two.
-
And if you play him so much that he just barely missed his vesting option, be ready for a lawsuit. Just DFA him and be done with it.
-
You've never heard of GWAR? They are the greatest interplanetary warrior heavy metal band from Richmond, VA. You need to go on youtube. They are right up your alley. If you want, just watch it with the sound off.
-
That was when Varitek was offered 10-12 in arbitration and turned it down because he thought he would get a multi year deal? Kind of apples and oranges to me. I don't think Boras is a horrible agent, I think he just misreads the market at times. Overall, I bet his players are very happy at the deals he has got for them.
-
Whether he's up or down, chances are he's not going to be worth that contract for 2 more years. You gotta let him go.
-
And if you really do believe in it, that means he'll be good this year and vest. Next year he'll suck and not be worth it. So let's just not let him vest then.
-
Do your eyes light up when you see a roulette wheel. The even/odd year thing is just silly.
-
DFA and use Travis as the backup.
-
And I believe Tek took less money to stay with the Sox.
-
It just means he wants the most money possible. Can't really blame him too much.

Looks like you can already buy some on StubHub. https://www.stubhub.com/boston-red-sox-tickets-boston-red-sox-boston-fenway-park-8-2-2018/event/103256680/?sort=price+asc -
Something like "well, if your client hasn't made up his mind by Feb 1, we'll just have to start looking elsewhere. If we find another guy we like, don't expect the offer to be there." The only problem is that the Sox telegraphed at the start of the offseason that they wanted a power hitter and that their preferred guy was JD Martinez. Because of that, Boras realized he could just wait them out and keep playing the field as the Sox were probably not going anywhere else.
-
The only other time they pulled an offer was with Teixeira (also was a Boras client). I don't believe they'll do that again, but you never really know.
-
I haven't seen anything to suggest a team other than the Sox have given him a five year offer. Where did you see this?
-
Now here is a really dumb post.
-
Yup. He can't vest this year. Even if the Sox don't sign JD, they can't let that vest.
-
Literally nothing exciting going on: @sdutdennislin Padres team official: The club's social media accounts, which posted and deleted Eric Hosmer items late last night, were hacked. As of now, it is unclear how that happened. Although teams run their respective accounts, they technically are assets controlled by MLB Advanced Media.
-
Over the past 4 years, he's been below replacement value. Yuck. Might as well just throw Hernandez, Lin or Marrero out there. Not sure Beckham would even have a starting position in PAW.
-
Contract runs until December 2021. Not sure what the players can do about it until then. Per the contract, it looks like the players can only strike if the owners violate the debt service rule and then don't reach an agreement to fix the level of excludable debt.
-
0 years. I wouldn't even want him back for a 1 day contract to retire as a Red Sox.
-
Don't you start that.

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
