AGENT TAKES SHOT AT BLUE JAYS
The most powerful player agent in baseball, Scott Boras, went into bird-hunter mode Wednesday, harshly criticizing the Toronto Blue Jays for the way they ’ve done business.
Boras hammered MLB teams he believes don’t do enough to win — such as spending loads of money — and criticized teams who have embarked on a rebuild/tanking route, which he says has driven away fans. Boras, who represents Jays starter Aaron Sanchez, described the way some teams accept mediocrity as “the competitive cancer that dominated our game” in 2018.
“Toronto’s a wonderful city, it’s been a great franchise, they’ve drawn over three million fans, (but) they’ve lost nearly a third of their fan base due to the ‘Blue flu’ of not bringing attractive players that fans find interesting to their market,” Boras said.
