I hate agents like drew and Scott Boras. agents like these guys hurt the sport.
Nah, no they don't. Ownership allowing these guys to become who they are is hurting the sport. A man is only a man no matter what talent he has. His peers are the ones that make him bigger than life. In this case, it's the owners bowing down at his feet and letting him bully them around.
Several owners in baseball had a good idea. They were "
not going to deal with Boras", but they caved in because other teams would and would take the players they not only wanted, but needed. In that case, greed by some owners (the ones that would deal with him when the others wanted to make a stand) did them in.
Blame falls on the owners. You can't blame the agents. They are only doing what the owners allow them to do.
