I suspect that GM are reluctant to call out Boras and his antics as he represents a great number of players, from superstars to draft picks, and doing so may make it difficult to sign one of his players at the level you can afford to play his games. 

My guess is Theo could tell some stories about dealing with Scott on the high end while the Pirates could share some inside scoop on the shannigans he pulled this year with Alvarez.  Problem is, doing so may make the next time around with Boras significantly more challenging as I suspect that Boras’ ego would cloud the negotiations somewhat.

If I recall correctly - I think the Boston media was pushing for Theo to say he got the better of Boras in the Dice-K signings as Boras initially requested almost twice what he signed for and Theo was very diplomatic in his responses knwowing that any image of gloating could come back to bite him.

I am looking forward to a GM tellall book being published someday and would certainly love to read one from Theo, Brian Cashman, Kenny Williams, Pat Gillick and Frank Wren.

This is completely expected from Boras which is exactly why I’m astonished that after the Mets’ low/Lowe offer, Boras didn’t immediately “leak” 5 other teams being interested.  Where are the rumors of mystery teams looking into Lowe?  Surely the Nationals and Reds are willing to go 5 years on him, no?

Max, is Lowe even a Boras client? He doesn’t represent EVERYONE you know.
