I think Boras has changed his tactics the last several years, by waiting on deals, instead of actively negotiating deals. I think this change has been very bad. But we forget that the agency is actually called the Boras Corporation. He has numerous agents under him, representing many other players. One agent under him is former Yankee Wayne Tolleson. The question is, by Boras sitting back and keeping the big name players unsigned, hoping to get the clubs to bend and give in, is he stopping guys like Tolleson from stopping to get his players signed?


As for Wells at 1B, or Peraza at 3B while in AAA. The Yankees, going back to the Montero/Romine pairing, starting in A ball…

What I am wondering. Could the Yankees sign someone like a Blake Snell with "deferred payments" the way the Dodgers did with Shohei Ohtani?

If I were running the Yankees, that is exactly what I would do to get Snell on board. It seems like the only logical way since short term with high AAV is out of the question due to the luxury tax implications.

The Least Among Them.png

"This charming and meticulously researched book will remind you of baseball’s power to change and enrich lives far beyond the diamond."

—Jonathan Eig, New York Times best-selling author of Luckiest Man, Opening Day, and Ali: A Life

From Compton to the Bronx.jpg

"A young man from Compton rises to the highest levels of baseball greatness.

Considered one of the classiest baseball players ever, this is Roy White's story, but it's also the story of a unique period in baseball history when the Yankees fell from grace and regained glory and the country dealt with societal changes in many ways."
