1. Just gonna leave this here..

2. If you can’t beat him, sign him

3. LETS FUCKING GO BOYS 🐍🐍🐍

4. Scott Boras I just want to talk

5. Are the Yankees and Red Sox front offices really this dense? They couldn’t do this when both really needed it?

   Happy for the Snakes, that rotation is very solid

6. Seems like a good deal for the Sneks

7. I wonder what the Red Sox offered him

8. That’s good money for Monty. Wondering how that second year vests or if he can get QO’d

9. Red Sox are an abomination

10. Boras is mentally in the 2025 offseason. And by that I mean Juan Soto

11. What a completely embarrassing offseason for Boras. Unmitigated disaster.

12. I wish all the best pitchers would keep going to the NL West

13. Risk free contract I love it

14. Oh…

    Maybe the Rockies should take up a different sport this season?

15. Betrayal

16. As much as I would’ve liked the Yankees to sign him, if that’s what it took to get a 2-year agreement, I get why they passed.  That’s potentially and likely a $105M/2 year deal with the luxury tax factored in. 

17. Padres get Dylan Cease and the Giants and D-Backs both went LOL

18. Pete and Soto looking real nervous rn

19. Not surprising considering how low Snell got offered

20. Wow how the fuck?!

21. Boras flop of a lifetime

    /r/baseball don’t even try to spin this shit this is an objectively horrible offseason for him

22. Rangers and Yankees both fucked themselves by waiting around too long.

23. Thank you for what you did, Monty. We’ll miss ya.

24. Couldn’t even get a player option?

25. Hell of an offseason for the Diamondbacks, filled every need they had without giving up anything for the future or locking themselves into a bad contract.

26. He didn’t cost a draft pick. How did no one else offer this??

27. The Angels are well under $30M from last season on payroll. Boras is fumbling the bag. Arte, I need you to stop being cheap this one time

28. Play Stupid games, win stupid prices: The Scott Boras offseason in a nutshell.

29. Sneks

30. Alright, I see you Phx ownership. I see you trying to get that taxpayer $$$.

31. I know the theme of discussion here will be about Boras but Jesus fucking Christ the Diamondbacks pitching staff is nasty, if they stay healthy they are not the team you wanna face in Postseason regardless of what the record says

32. This was a massive L season for Boras. He had everyone and couldn’t leverage?

33. Lol wtf. Ill take it tho

34. Damn the NL west is going to be a tough division this year

35. “Vesting player option” sounds like an oxymoron. Wouldn’t the player want a vesting opt-out?
