Nothing happened in MLB yesterday, but we did hear that Scott Boras is reportedly asking for 9 years and $270 million to sign Blake Snell.

I doubt that number is entirely accurate, as it is likely a leak from a team, not Boras. Part of me thinks the delay in free agency moves is due to quasi-team collusion, with owners deciding enough is enough of over-spending on mid-tier players.
