Getting pretty tired of Travis tbh. He's a good player but no way does he ever get through a season without significant DL time.

 

He doesn't even deserve the lead off role either. He only has it because he's not a premier slugger and has respectable OBP skills. He looks better hitting 6 or 7 in this lineup, IMO.

 

Hes a lot better in lead off than Pillar.

Boras is annoying. Now that he got Kris Bryant the record he expects that to be the new standard for all his clients.

Boras bashing the Jays? Was anyone not expecting this to happen. The Jays are a painfully conservative team with respect to the financial side. There was no chance that Boras wasn't going to speak up.

Welcome to the MLB Boras, guy was offered a modest raise and chose not to accept it.....because you know "principals". I don't like the way young players are compensated, but I'm sure the Jays would happily have given Sanchez 20-30 mil if he wanted to sign a 5 year extension right now which would have set him up for life, If he blows his arm out this year that's on you you greedy f***s...have never seen a Minor league flame out return a signing bonus yet.

Love Scott Boras. Everyone assumes that only time to negotiate is during contract times...but he knows how to use the media to constantly be negotiating. This is all setting up his next move a la Gerrit Cole...extension or trade (which after his feud with Stroman might be Sanchez's end goal!

It's pretty shocking that more pitchers don't jump at the chance to sign extensions, something similar to what Archer signed 3 years ago for 25M guaranteed over 6 years. They all think their invincible despite watching their peers go down in flames every year

Boras doing his job and media playing his hand. Puppet master and puppet

 

I'd feel slimy and scummy if I had to play games like this all the time. Manipulating perceptions and people is a dirty business.

The $5m to $10m earnings a year would probably help you to get over that feeling

Do you know something about it that we don't?

 

That was just sarcasm. But I do actually think they just don't like each other now.

Stroman has the napolean complex and just can't fathom that Sanchez is better than him at all things.

 

Can Sanchez Rap..... I think not.

Pompey is out with a concussion. That sucks.

 

Was this from his slide? Must be a maddening way to get a concussion. How many times has he slid into second in his life?
