Read out Scott Boras’ Shocking Accusation on Team Owners Loud Calls that make a drastic salary change……

 

Agent Scott Boras is right on the news again! But this time, for some surprising revelations that he made regarding a few big teams’ owners in the MLB. Scott has long been associated with some of the most coveted free-agent MLB stars, who are yet to be signed by any team. And that causes fury in him as he lets out his frustration on the teams. But what is he talking about?

Well, Boras seems to have accused some owners of the MLB teams of not spending enough money on the big players. However, his statement has garnered mixed responses from the fans. Few agree with him, while others don’t, but this news undoubtedly had the fans in a frenzy across the social media!

Scott Boras represents two major MLB players—the Houston Astros’ Alex Bregman and the New York Mets’ Pete Alonso. But it comes as a shock for him that none has shown much interest in either of them as they both look for a long-term contract. He made an accusation to the team owners of not spending enough money on these players despite having the money in their pockets. But is it true? Yes, the Arizona Diamondbacks signed Corbin Burnes for a six-year, $210 million contract. But Alas! Both Bregman and Pete haven’t yet found any takers, as no teams are willing to spend $200 million on them. What do the stats say about the payroll?

Well, only seven MLB teams have managed to increase their payroll by over $10 million, as per FanGraphs—one is the Arizona Diamondbacks. Now with Scott Boras’ accusations, team owners like that of the Dodgers have pushed MLB to have a hard salary cap. It could enable a minimum amount of money that every team would have to spend for remaining competitive.

But will that be a solution? Well, let’s get on to some of the reactions of the fans and decide!

It comes as a surprise for everyone that the Major League Baseball Players Association, which rejected the salary cap earlier, has now been pushed to bring it back on the team owners’ call. As for the fans, they cannot just stay calm. One of the fans commented, “I’m not against a salary cap, but there should also be a salary floor.” He believed that there are many owners who keep the money to themselves, and that’s not a good thing. Thus, he wants a salary floor alongside the salary cap.

Another quirky fan agreed to the previous statement and said, “Word. Make those fu***** spend!!” He seems visibly frustrated, but that does make sense, given that most of the teams pay taxes. Forget the money; it plays with the emotions of fans when the focus is on revenue and not on reinvesting in the quality and efforts that players put on the field.

One user commented, “I can’t believe I’m agreeing with a damn Yankee, but here we are. Lol.” It’s true that when one owns a team, it is the responsibility to invest in its success. The money earned must be reinvested on the players, which would enhance the quality as well.

Another user mentioned, “While I could pile on the hate towards the Dodgers, as a Reds fan, I know that whether the Dodgers do or don’t spend like madmen, it’s not going to change the fact at all that the Reds will continue to be an AAAA farm team for the rest of MLB.” Although the term might be somewhat flawed, it’s no denying that the Red Sox remain a favorite among many. And it does make sense that even if the Dodgers make some good signings, they may not match the level of the Red Sox.

In contrast to all the reactions, a fan commented, “Nah, they’re just forcing other owners to spend more of their profits to be competitive.” Maybe it is true that it’s just a publicity stunt to force the owners to spend more. However, one needs not to fall into such a trap. Although fans have different reactions, the owners should definitely invest in the team with the money earned. Setting a specific amount of money that every team needs to make can definitely help to make the signings more competitive than before.
