Agent Scott Boras was toast of the Winter Meetings last week, earning over $800 million in guarantees for three players: Gerrit Cole, Anthony Rendon, and Stephen Strasburg. On Wednesday, reporters asked Boras about the free agent statuses of three more clients in Hyun-Jin Ryu, Dallas Keuchel, and Nicholas Castellanos. The trio figures to come in well short of the guaranteed dollar figures doled out to Cole, Rendon, and Strasburg, but each should do very well given their performances last season.
Notable for Braves fans is the status of the left-hander Dallas Keuchel, who made two playoff starts for Atlanta following a strong, if stunted, season in 2019.
