My, my, my... How the mighty have fallen...
Superagent Scot Boras made a super mistake. He convinced Ryan Madsen that big deals were out there, but his mouth couldn't back it up. In the end Madsen signs a 1-year deal for $8.5 million with the Cincinnati Reds.
Madsen doesn't get the 4-year, $12.5 million per year deal that Jon Papelbon got from his old team, the Phillies. He doesn't get multiple years which leaves him vulnerable should injury occur. And he doesn't get the asking price of $10 million or more per year that Boras said was out there.
Message to Ryan Madsen - get a new agent when you're looking for a new contract in 2013.
