⚾️ Brushback - The Boras Show
The GM’s phone buzzes. “It’s Boras.”
He exhales like he’s just been handed a live grenade.
With the offseason underway, it’s business time — free agency has arrived, and the negotiations are about to get loud.
Then, they hear those dreaded words down the front office hallway:
“His agent is Scott Boras.”
📞 Phones go silent. Budgets get nervous. PR teams start drafting “we gave it our best shot” statements.
When Scott Boras enters the chat, you’re not negotiating a contract — you’re entering a hostage situation with a guy holding a law degree and a legal pad.
Every winter, he walks into the market like a general surveying a battlefield he already owns.
He’s patient, theatrical, and absolutely allergic to the phrase “team-friendly deal.”
Boras clients don’t sign contracts — they win them.
💼 When Boras enters free agency, it’s not a bidding war — it’s a PowerPoint apocalypse.
He’s got the Winter Meetings routine down to performance art. Cue the press conference poetry:
“Free agency is the harvest.”
“We’re not talking about a steak dinner here.”
…and boom — your owner’s suddenly reconsidering that luxury tax ceiling.
And he’s not wrong. His players get paid. Every exec in baseball has sworn they’ll never dance with Boras again — right up until they do.
Because if you want top talent, you’ve got to deal with the devil in the pinstripe suit.
Yeah, he may lose one every now and then — still he somehow sets the market.
“His agent is Scott Boras.”
Five words that mean your team’s about to get better — or broke.
Either way, Boras just raised the price of doing business.
