By signing so late in the process, they are more likely to develop arm trouble while trying to get game-ready too fast.
Long-term $150-250M+ megadeals for decent players entering their 30s? No thanks Scott. Go see if you can find someone else to take you up on it.
Was it fear of being accused of collusion? Seems pretty ridiculous when Boras's demands are historically far more than other agents.
Montgomery's a good pitcher, but his next Cy Young vote will be his first.
Health is not a given for pitchers. They should go for the highest total compensation they can get regardless of AAV. "Betting on yourself" sounds cool until you blow your UCL.
