Baseball Isn’t Boring

One of the chief reasons baseball hasn't been boring the last month has been become of these shock-and-awe contracts signed by big-name free agents. And one person who is chiefly responsible for all this Hot Stove drama is agent Scott Boras, who has negotiated more than a $1 billion worth of contracts for his clients this offseason. One billion! Bradfo caught up with Boras at the introduction of outfielder Masataka Yoshida to discuss the offseason. (Spoiler: After the conversation Boras agreed to yet another huge deal thank to Carlos Rodon's contract with the Yankees.) You want Boras' perspective on this last month? You got it.
