Scott Boras wants to remake the World Series in the image of the Super Bowl.

Yankees and Red Sox, best of 163. That's what I want to see. That's what America wants to see.

What America wants to see is one 28-inning game.

New Yorker feature on Boras.

200 words is about all I can take on him (and I'm fine with mega-paid players).

The Cliffs Notes version, then.

Scott Boras will be the keynote speaker at this summer's SABR convention in Long Beach CA.

this guy is a fucking scumbag

tbh i don't really get the whole 'scott boras is ruining baseball' thing

"this guy is a fucking scumbag"

Compared to the sport owners the guy is saint as far as I can tell.

That said his Super Series is a really depressing idea.

I'm guessing that went nowhere

Which is weird cuz I could totally see Selig being all over that.

just used the phrase "the opiate of player control" re: kris bryant and the cubs

"ersatz baseball"

I have some editorial complaints about these MLBPA tweets

@MLB_PLAYERS
Today is a bad day for baseball. We all know that if @KrisBryant_23 were a combination of the greatest Players to play our great game,(1/3)

and perhaps he will be before it's all said and done, the @Cubs still would have made the decision they made today. (2/3)

This decision, and other similar decisions made by clubs will be addressed in litigation, bargaining or both. (End)

everyone is just posturing about this, but that's especially egregious from the players association, which has consistently bargained away anything that would help minor leaguers/rookies (because those ppl aren't in the union and have no power)

The basic truth is this: Scott Boras walked into a bunch of GMs’ offices in the winter of 2000, he threw down a sheet of paper that said exactly what Alex Rodriguez was going to do over the next 10 years, and he was almost exactly right!

Scott Boras says Jake Arrieta “puts the cream in the coffee” for the Phillies. I think that means the Phillies are ready to win, but I don’t speak Borasese.
