Brodie Van Wagenen, the lead baseball agent at Creative Artists Agency and former Cincinnati Reds fan favorite Todd Frazier's agent, accused MLB owners Friday "of conspiring to suppress the free agent market and warned that players might be willing to boycott spring training in solidarity if the market does not loosen," per USA TODAY Sports' Gabe Lacques.
More from Lacques:
A backlog of impact players remain on the market with just 10 days remaining until spring training camps open. Seven of the consensus top 10 free agents, led by J.D. Martinez, Yu Darvish and Jake Arrieta, remain unsigned, and productive players such as Van Wagenen’s client, former New York Yankees third baseman Todd Frazier, remain days and perhaps weeks away from finding their place in this market.
