Phillips basically described the Zito chase by saying "[one] doesn't sign up Scott Boras as [one's] agent to go to the best market--one signs up with Boras to get the biggest deal." As evidence, he cited Carlos Beltran, who went to New York despite the fact most people thought it was a bad move for him, since it meant the most money. One can assume Zito bailed on his agent and chose Boras for the same reason. <BR/><BR/>So, for Gagne to snub the Dodgers' generous offer just means that Boras again has his hand up Eric so he can move Gagne's lips. I think this is bad for both the Dodgers and for Gagne, but then, I don't have Boras as my agent.Steve Saxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00930320282262607468noreply@blogger.com
