Scott Boras

I am extremely greedy. The players that sign with me are extremely greedy. Money is more important than winning to us. We will not settle for anything less than $330 million. Deal with it owners.

The notion of Boras as some baseball villain, again, is so weird. Of course he tries to get the most for his clients -- every agent does. And of course his players prioritize money -- virtually EVERY player in baseball does. It's exceedingly rare for a free agent to turn down more money to sign for less.

Also, the only Boras player looking for 330+ is Harper. Boras doesn't represent Machado.

All of this goes back to -- why would you side with owners (who are "greedier" than players) over the guys on the field? So strange. MLB revenues topped 10 billion dollars in 2018... of course players should want their salaries to move forward.

Cubs have any interest in Cody Allen or Martin Maldonaldo?
Steve Adams
4:07
The entire offseason to date should make clear that Cubs fans shouldn't really be hoping for any notable free-agent addition.

Did Grandal do the right thing in taking a bigger annual salary over the 4 year deal with the Mets?
Steve Adams
4:08
Nope.

Ian Happ to the Giants for Will Smith or Tony Watson?
Steve Adams
4:08
Don't think the Cubs would move Happ for one year of a reliever

Is Moose a 3B fall back for the Chisox if Manny signs elsewhere? They don’t have any legit 3B in their org
Steve Adams
4:09
Yolmer Sanchez is a decent enough option there, but yeah I do think they'd play for Moose if Machado signed elsewhere.
SD+ATL

Renfroe to ATL for Kolby Allard?
Steve Adams
4:09
I wouldn't trade any MLB-ready starter for Renfroe
