Scott Boras is on a heater after getting Alex Bregman paid, and his next assignment is to do the same for Cody Bellinger. Boras and the New York Yankees are said to be in a stare-down over a reported five-year, $155-$160 million deal on the table for Belli, but the Yanks need to be careful if they assume that no one will outbid them.
After all, there are rumors out there that the Boston Red Sox just called Boras’ bluff and got burned badly, with Foul Territory’s AJ Pierzynski suggesting that the Red Sox didn’t believe that Bregman had richer offers than their own, despite Boras saying so.
