Now, I think that the distaste for Boras may become too much. Ricketts' latest statements were not encouraging.

Sadly, the disappointment that was the Jason Heyward deal not only cost them dearly for seven seasons, it may continue to cost them for many more by passing on long term contracts on star free agents. It seems Bellinger may want to come back, but you don't hire Boras and expect to have control of the wheel.

This may drag well into March and he may end up in Toronto or SD.
