Scott Boras, the agent
for Cubs’ starter Jake Arrieta, employed some interesting metaphors Saturday to
describe his client’s value. Boras
called Arrieta “a squirrel with a lot of nuts in the tree. He’s a big-game squirrel.” The mind boggles.
It also wonders if
Boras and Arrieta aren’t worried about impending free agency. Usually, Boras builds up a client, e.g. Jason
Werth, to Cooperstown status. But all of a sudden Boras is talking nuts and
how the Cubs haven’t turned them down yet.
Is it me, or did the big squirrel just blink?
