Scott Borus on MLB Finance, Bryant, Edge, Universal D.H.


Agents Scott Borus and MLB disagree on whether the league’s teams have lost money during the epidemic’s short-term, spectator-less 2020 season. Speaking with John Heyman of the MLB Network And other reporters revealed those clubs to Boris on Tuesday “Lost Profits” Last season, but they didn’t lose money. Pere Heyman, a spokesman for the league, responded “Clubs lose B3B – M 100M per team.” Now that the league appears and there are a few more months of disagreement over whether the players’ side is to play the full schedule in 2021, the MLB wants to push the season back, according to the report, which would mean a straightforward short-term season. It will cost players money, therefore, they are not open to the idea of ​​playing less than 162 games next year.

Boras is upset that the league’s teams played only 60 games in 2020. “I was very disappointed that we didn’t play a minimum of 120 games, 100 games in 2020,” He said (via Detroit News’ Chris McKowski). Boras believes the league could return to its normal slate going forward, as he put it: “We know now that we can play the game and we can do it safely. And with the advent of vaccines, we can also play it at a higher level of security. It is not a question of whether we can do it. We have already done that. It has erased the unknown. ”

Boris, who has always been clear, had more to say during discussions with the media. Here are some other highlights:

  • Boras insisted on a low budget Athletics Will need “Money Rebellion” To sustain success, and they can’t easily rely on the potential new stadium for that, Susan Sulser of the San Francisco Chronicle Riley. It does not appear to be a “rebellion” as if this .fis is not coming. According to Sullivan, A has been telling agents that they don’t have much to spend, especially with many key free agents (which is a threat to the team as some key free agents face losses).Marcus Semian, Liam Hendrix And Tommy La Stella Is between them). In the good news for the club, Boras announced that third baseman Matt Chapman Have been cleared for increased activity and should be prepared for spring training. Chapman underwent hip surgery in September, at which point Boras said he needed 12 to 16 weeks to recover.
  • although Cubs Third baseman / outfielder Chris Bryant Trade rumors have been rife this season, with Boras coming under the impression that he will be with the team for another year. Per hymen. About Bryant’s future, Boras said (via) Mark Gonzalez of the Chicago Tribune): “That question will probably be addressed very clearly in the late ’21s, because we’re going to know a lot about what Jade (Hoyer) wants to do, and about the continuation of Chris Christ’s excellence in baseball uniforms.” ” The Cubs will sell less on the former MVP, who has paid an estimated .6 18.6mm salary in his final season of team control. Many clubs will consider him very rich after Bryant endured a reckless struggle last season.
  • Likewise, Boris Renની does not expect the Black Snail trade on the left.
  • The MLB introduced a universally designated heater in 2020, but despite being a non-agency fee agency, no official word has been received on whether it will return next year. Boras advocated a return and, taking a shot at the lack of clarity from the commissioner’s office, said, “Perhaps in the commissioner’s office fee, the DH can stand by waiting for them.” He also believes that it is “Absolutely Necessary” To stick to the league extended rosters (through) Tyler Kepner of the New York Times And Bill Plunkett of the Orange County Register).
