LOL at everyone who said "there were no other good offers on the table!" and "Bregman was stupid and overvalued himself!" or that Boras had no...
You also visit a Houston Rockets/Astros message board. The issue is not "no old people ever stream". It's that they don't stream in the same...
... to you. Why do people assume that someone else does or should prioritize what you do? Why? As you said, he's already won two WS. Is a 3rd...
You understand that's how free agency works, right? Teams try to pay as little as they can. Players try to earn as much as they can. They'll sign...
He also got 1 yr at $35MM. So he managed a total of 7 years at $235MM plus some vesting options vs 5 years $160MM - he got $75MM extra for two...
Keep in mind baseball likely also has an older fanbase in terms of people interested in watching 100+ games on TV. And that older fanbase is less...
It's not just that they wouldn't do the same thing. It's that they think he's greedy for not doing what random fan wants. As though he should...

Caring about your favorite teams and accusing people of being greedy assholes for not doing just agreeing to whatever your team wants are two...
Except we don't actually know what any other team has offered. And from what we know from rumors, that's actually probably not true.
Maybe it will help him. If you believe he's a slow starter (he's not), then it's not like having a full spring training helps him. Maybe a...
There's still 10 days before he'd report to spring training. Besides that, last year was really the only year he had a really slow start....
Agreed - as long as they both are being professionals about it all, it shouldn't be an issue. Harper and Machado still hadn't signed at this...
Detroit and/or Toronto are supposedly offering more money. The Astros just upped their offer, meaning all the people making your argument for the...
For what? Being a free agent? For doing what's best for him? No one's holding the Astros hostage here - they can always move on if they want.
Boras needs leverage to do his job. He didn't have any with Alonso only really wanting to be a Met. That said, if he keeps signing shorter term...
