You could say the same for the GMs as well.

I don't see how anybody other than Altuve can have that distinction.

Your read on Yordan is spot on from what I've heard. Haven't met him but from what I've heard he's one of the nicest guys in baseball and he values living in a place where he's comfortable over crazy amounts of money.. hence the team friendly deal he signed.

Some friends of ours went to Disney over Christmas and saw Yordan with his family and he was gracious enough to take pics with their 13-year old son and said he was super nice and cool about it.

That has to be a pretty cool experience for somebody that grew up in Cuba to be able to take their kids to a place like Disney. Talk about making sure your kids have a better life...

They should do this to all Yankees fans. Trash fanbase.

And yet no tea-sips were punished for throwing trash on the field vs. Georgia.

Couldn't identify any of them. It's not like UT has a giant database of student photos to match up the video with.

Really strange timing but absolutely the correct decision even if a few months late.

I'm sure he's got the Chiba Lotte Marines upping there offer right now. They are sweetening the deal with an offer of 1000 free pa*****o tokens a day.

I could see Bregman thriving in Japan. Tailor made for those ballparks.

Sure. And there is a -83% chance that happens. He's fishing for the big bucks. He's going to land a crappie.

Yordan is 100% the nicest guy in baseball. He's great with kids, older fans, etc. Outside of that, he's the best hitter in baseball. Yordan left like $30MM on the table and will likely take another club friendly extension. He's not a money hungry ******* like Tuck or Breggy. Different background as well, but Yordan is appreciative of what he's been given.

I am not TxAggie2015, but I have a connection to Yordan through ex-MLB coaches we've hired for our PG youth teams.


Edit - I want to clarify one thing. Tuck is an *******. Bregs was great with the kids. When I lumped them together, it was all based on their greed, which they both share.

Only counterpoint I have to that is when Yordan was supposed to do an Astros buddies club autograph session, he backed out last minute. King Tuck covered for him, and was friendly and willing to chat, even with us nearly at the end of the line

We have been spoiled with Bags, Biggio and Altuve. Not everyone can be like them. I with Bregs would have stayed, Altuve was quite vocal about it, and I am betting he wishes he would have signed that deal now. I don't blame him for wanting as much as he could get. He was just led wrong.

Guarantee players are noticing that Boras is screwing up with some of these deals or that teams don't want to deal with him because he is over valuing players and it ends up costing them or putting them on a non winning team.

We keep thinking the shine will wear off of Boras but it still doesn't. I don't understand it.
