Here’s me from two-and-a-half weeks ago: Yesterday afternoon, word got out that Bobby Abreu had agreed to a contract extension [...]...
Ken Rosenthal's latest entry in the offseason blog at FOX Sports says that he believes Scott Boras will likely use Bobby Abreu's two-year, $19MM contract as a baseline for fellow 36-year-old outfielder Johnny Damon. Damon put up a career year in his age 35 season, belting out 24 home runs en route to a line of .284/.365/.489. And, as Rosenthal is careful to point out, while Damon did play in the homer-happy...
According to a major league source yesterday, the Red Sox have their eye on four Scott Boras clients - outfielders Matt Holliday and Rick Ankiel, left-hander Mike Gonzalez...
Remember Yuri Sucart? He's the guy that A-Rod said helped him get the steroids and persuaded him to use them. It turns out that while A-Rod has successfully turned his career in the right direction, Sucart has hit rock bottom. Here's more from Michael O'Keeffe : Banks began foreclosure proceedings on Yuri Sucart's Miami home and three South Florida rental properties in the months after Rodriguez's...
ESPN.com’s Jorge Arangure Jr. has the headline: “Cuban defector Chapman fires agent.” That’s what I saw earlier this afternoon. My first thought, of course, is that he opted for Scott Boras. That’s not the case, thankfully. After Chapman fired his former agent, Edwin Mejia — who helped Chapman with the MLB procedure to file for [...] Post from: River Ave. Blues A...
Gordon Edes of ESPN says it could take a long time for Jason Bay to make a decision on where to sign. Edes says the market for Bay is impacted by Matt Holliday and considering that Scott Boras is his agent, he won’t be in any rush to sign. Among those he believes will be big players [...]
Jason Bay rejected Boston's contract offer of four years and close to $60MM two days ago, and now it seems the Red Sox maybe be looking to alternatives. SI.com's Jon Heyman tweets that even though the team plans to keep in touch with Bay, "competing execs believe they're looking at hard at alternatives now." Yesterday we learned that Boston expressed interest in four Scott Boras clients,...
The Red Sox have expressed interest in four players - all Scott Boras clients - early in the hot stove season, according to Mike Silverman of The Boston Herald. Those four players would be Matt Holliday, Adrian Beltre, Mike Gonzalez, and Rick Ankiel. Silverman notes that the Sox consider Holliday and alternative to Jason Bay, should they fail to re-sign him. Gonzalez could replace Billy Wagner, although...
ESPN.com's Jayson Stark responds to some of Scott Boras' recent comments before providing some rumors in his latest Rumblings and Grumblings column: The Rays, Rangers and Jays appear to be the three likeliest landing spots for Milton Bradley. The Cubs say they don't want to eat much of the $21MM remaining on Bradley's contract, so a bad contract swap still seems possible. Stark hears that the Marlins...
A few more items for Wednesday evening... Chad Jennings of The Journal News thinks the Yankees ought to at least call Toronto about right-handed ace Roy Halladay. "I have no idea what the asking price might be," writes Jennings, "but Halladay is better than [John] Lackey and he’ll surely cost fewer prospects than Felix Hernandez." As noted by the Boston Globe's Nick Carfado,...
Mike Gonzalez has already drawn strong attention from a number of different teams looking for a closer and as he continues to determine where he'll pitch next year, he'll do so under the advisement of Scott Boras. Two Major League sources have confirmed that Gonzalez recently chose Boras to serve as his agent. The veteran reliever had previously been represented by Dan Lozano of the Beverly Hills Sports...
The Boston Red Sox are looking at the medical records of Braves relievers Gozalez and Soriano. Mike Gonzalez recenty signed on with Scott Boras and is a Type A free agent. He posted a 2.42 ERA with 90 K's in 80 games last season. Rafael Soriano had an ERA of 2.97 and 27 saves last season. Wagner might sign elsewhere and Manny Delcarmen seems to be someone mentioned in every trade rumor, so the Red...
NEW YORK – Stephen Strasburg set a standard even before setting foot on a professional baseball field.
