Scott Boras has free agents stacked up like planes at Logan in a snowstorm. Maybe Scott the super agent has started his descent.
Number 1 big commission free agent -- Mark Teixeira -- hasn't signed with any team yet. Lately, teams like the Red Sox & Angels have withdrawn their offers. They had enough of the Boras act of playing one team against another. They called his bluff.
Number 2 big commission free agent -- Manny Ramirez -- is backseat news. No team is going to offer multiple years for a 36-year old troublemaker who wants A-Rod money. Sounds like Manny has been all expense & no income so far.
Jason Varitek is somewhere way down the line in the Boras plan of triage. Again, no takers on Varitek yet.
Has Scott Boras lost his luster? Maybe the MLB GM's have had enough of his methods to get overpayment for players he represents. A recession is a good way to weed out the poor performers. So far, no one is buying what Boras is selling. No salesman of the year award.
