LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. • In a wide-ranging conversation that was studded with rhinestone buzzwords like "Playoffville" and "big squirrel with a lot of nuts," agent Scott Boras met with the assembled baseball press to offer his views on everything from the current free-agent market to tanking to, yes, how the New York Mets could have "palatial" accommodations in "Playoffville."
The Mets, he added, just have to decide when to begin construction.
Some quick bullet points of interest from Boras or concerning Boras clients that will be of interest to Cardinals' fans:
- Matt Holliday, hampered by a virus late in the 2017 season, intends to play in 2018, and he is a free agent.
