"The Boston Red Sox had a chance to sign Mark Teixeira before the New York Yankees did, because we gave them an offer. That's the best I can do for owners, it really is. The player was earnest in coming there at the time and he presented them with an offer they could have accepted." --Scott Boras
What he neglected to mention was that he gave the Red Sox an earnest offer yet when the Red Sox front office (including John Henry) flew to Texas to seal the deal, Boras continued to negotiate and used the Yankees, Angels, Orioles and Nationals as leverage to ask the Sox for a 10 year 200 million deal.
And today in the NY Post, Scott Boras compared Johnny Damon to Derek Jeter. This man has got to be the most unpopular man in all of baseball...actually in all of sports.
Fans hat agents as it is. Most are greedy, slimy, disloyal and heartless. Scott Boras encompasses all of those qualities ten fold.
