I would prefer Monty not sign with Boston and beat the Yankees 4 times a year for the next 6 years.

Do you follow more Yankee twitter accounts or Astros ones? Are there any Astros twitter accounts other than that really mad guy?

I feel like Soto is going to have an incredible season this year and he's going to love NY and we're going to love him and then Boras will put him on like the Angels next year for 600 million and everyone will be miserable.

I like how this is Boras just placing a player on a team rather than the result of any agency on the part of Juan Soto or say, the New York Yankees

Boras has a history of putting players in bad situations to get the biggest contract. See Rod, A.

The most famous agent in the sport who represents a ton of players has a history of doing Thing X, such as that time he did it 23 years ago

Baseball agents for the most part seem to do a pretty good job other than whoever is giving Braves' players advice. Boras is more about himself than his clients imo, there is a reason he has seats for the Angels where he's literally in frame on every pitch lol. He's an egomaniac. I enjoyed seeing him get embarrassed this offseason by having to take lower deals for a bunch of players. Hopefully he loses some of these clients.

bawfuls posted:

if he does this bad thing a lot more than other agents then one would think you'd cite a few more recent examples than literally 2 decades ago

There are other examples. Kris Bryant and Boegarts come to mind recently. Have you ever heard him interviewed? He's an insufferable rear end in a top hat lol.

Nodoze posted:

More than likely he's just injured. I wouldn't be surprised to find out he needs TJS based on the forearm strain from last spring

Could be considering that his velocity is way down. Of course they are going to wait way too long to have him get it like they always do.

Sydin posted:

Rodon spent his entire career getting injured then finally had one year where he managed to stay fully healthy at age 29, and the Yankees inexplicably decided yeah that's gonna be the new normal and dumped $162M on his head for his age 30-35 years. It was a quixotic move that so far does not appear to be paying off.

He was pretty good in both 2021 and 2022. But yes, your point stands. I would've thought he'd miss time but be good when he pitched. he's been loving terrible as a yankee even when he pitches.

Rodon is also kind of a shithead which the Yankees probably should've looked into before they gave him 160 million tbh

So they are going to call fielders for blocking the base this year huh?

I like this in theory but it would suck to lose a game because of a ticky-tack obstruction call.

This rule loving sucks. Just let them challenge it and if the guy is called out but he's blocked call him safe. The extra base is awful.
