Player agent Scott
Boras is proof positive of reincarnation—the man has to be the Pied Piper of
Hamlin, take two. Boras turns general
managers and owners into the most adoring of children.
PPB is more than a
little worried about the national pastime.
Mr. Boras doesn’t like the way teams are moving away from free agency to
developing their own talent, and he wants to see changes in how MLB does the World
Series. In an interview with the Tribune
this week, Boras proposed the idea of a neutral-site Series, a la the Super Bowl.
“If we continue to do
this [having the home team play, literally, at home] on a regional scale, we’re
going to lose something that baseball deserves, and what it deserves is world
attention. There is a sacrifice of two,
three or four [home] games for a team, but the betterment it brings to baseball
on the whole far exceeds the detriment.”
I wonder how much
revenue such a change would cost the Piper, I mean, Scott Boras?
