If there’s one thing Scott Boras is known for, it’s being one of the best in the business when it comes to squeezing the most possible money out of MLB owners for his clients. And if there’s a second thing he’s known for, it’s a bottomless well of -isms that uses when speaking publicly.
After Kris Bryant was assigned to the minors to open the 2015 season, we we were told that the decision was the “apogee of wrongs” and that the Cubs were engaging in “ersatz baseball.” Things seem to have worked out pretty well for both sides, but you can bet Boras won’t be advising Bryant to take a hometown discount on an early extension.
