December 13, 20178 yr LMAO Samson has been so much better since Jeter took over... he no longer helps run this team and he just sits back and responds to dumb things like this one. And he implied Hill "has pictures" since he wasn't fired too.
December 13, 20178 yr Boras speaking truths. Yes, but maybe someone that isn't part of the problem should be saying it and not Boras.
December 13, 20178 yr Yes, but maybe someone that isn't part of the problem should be saying it and not Boras. Boras is the best at what he does. I love when people hate on him. I've said many times, I would hire Boras to represent me 10 times out of 10.
December 13, 20178 yr Boras is the best at what he does. I love when people hate on him. I've said many times, I would hire Boras to represent me 10 times out of 10. so he will be your pimp?
December 13, 20178 yr Boras is the best at what he does. I love when people hate on him. I've said many times, I would hire Boras to represent me 10 times out of 10. That's fine. Not hating on him but part of the problem with baseball are the out of control salaries. Teams shouldn't be forced to trade their best players because of crazy salaries. We shouldn't have lost Stanton just like the Orioles shouldn't lose Machado, or the Royals shouldn't have to lose their entire core. This is different from the Marlins troubles as the Marlins are also run like a circus on top of that. It's a baseball problem in general. I guess I'm just old school but it's nice to have generational talents play most of their careers with their original team. Boras is the worst from a fans perspective because he won't entertain an extension before reaching FA. Why make everything a bidding war? At least try to negotiate in good faith. When it's mainly about getting the max dollar amount it becomes a problem. From a fans perspective anyway.
December 13, 20178 yr so Samson says Boras doesn't know how to run a business, and then gives him shit for being the most successful, profitable agent in sports? makes sense

Boras is the worst from a fams perspective because he won't entertain an extension before reaching FA. Ehy make everything a bidding war? At leasr try to negotiate in good faith. When it's mainly about getting the max dollar amount it becomes a problem. From a fans perspective anyway. Nobody forced the Marlins to give Stanton that contract. The Boras doesnt do extensions is a load of bullshit. Fuck he just had Stras sign before he reached free agency. He was talking to the Nats this week about an extension for Harper. If a player wants an extension, Boras will get them that extension if the team is open to it. He just won't allow his client to get taken to the cleaners. The Orioles are going to lose Machado because of Peter Angelos. The Boras hate is hilarious. He is working to get his client the most money possible, kinda his job. If the client doesnt want to go somewhere, he wont go there. It's just that players often want the most money. Nobody forces these owners to give out these contracts. I don't see no guns to anyone's head.
December 13, 20178 yr Boras a much better businessman than Samson fwiw. most members of the human race are much better businessman than samson though so thats not a high bar.
December 15, 20178 yr Author The Boras hate is hilarious. He is working to get his client the most money possible, kinda his job. If the client doesnt want to go somewhere, he wont go there. It's just that players often want the most money. Nobody forces these owners to give out these contracts. I don't see no guns to anyone's head. I agree. He seems like an asshole but most successful businessmen are assholes.
December 15, 20178 yr I agree. He seems like an asshole but most successful businessmen are assholes. For that matter, most successful assholes are also businessmen, so it works out.
December 16, 20178 yr The Marlins have most definitely received pawn shop type returns on their deals so far. Desperation and Mike Hill and the chances of getting reamed are pretty good.
