$350 million!!

News has come out in the last few days that the reason A-Rod turned down his option with the Yankees is that his agent, the evil Scott Boras, wanted his A-Rod to receive no less than $350 million dollars! Is the Evil One so blinded by his own greed that he does not see how he is ruining the sport for everyone? I have heard that agents typically get 5% to 8% from their clients. Look at A-Rod's asking price again and you do the math. The Evil One is only looking out for himself. A-Rod, you are just a pawn in his game.

I plead with Major League Baseball to boycott all of Scott Boras's clients. If you have some on your team, refuse to resign them when their contracts come up. You can tell them that they only way you will consider to sign them is if they change agents. For full disclosure here, I am a Braves fan. As a Braves fan, I realize we traded away a big chunk of our future for a Mark Texiera, who is represented by the Evil One. We will have Tex for one more year and then he will be testing the free agent market. I say let him walk unless he changes agents. I know that the players union would have a fit and say the owners can't do that. Why not? A business owner cannot discriminate based on gender, ethnicity, etc. But there is nothing that says they cannot discriminate based on greedy assholedness. Besides, the Players Union should fight to take the title of worst influence on the game back away from Scott Boras and return it to their mantle where it belongs.

Owners, do you part to rid baseball from the likes of Scott Boras forever!!
