Part 5/7:
The Impact of Scott Boras and the Free Agency Landscape
Blake Snell's deal, along with Yusei Kikuchi's contract with the Angels, has raised questions about Scott Boras' approach this offseason. These signings before the winter meetings suggest that Boras may be adopting a more aggressive strategy to secure beneficial contracts for his clients.
With several high-profile players still on the market, including Juan Soto and Pete Alonso, this early signing frenzy might signal a market that could become much more dynamic than anticipated. The Mets will need to act swiftly to strengthen their roster and could benefit from being proactive given the evolution of the free agency landscape.
