Free agent shortstop Carlos Correa, the top remaining free agent on the board (and arguably the top free agent of the 2021-22 offseason), has hired Scott Boras as his new agent, it was reported last night.
Correa, 27, previously had been represented by William Morris Endeavor. As noted in the link above, the parent company for WME recently purchased nine minor league teams, resulting in the MLBPA threatening to take action against any agents with WME due to a rule against agents having an ownership interest in minor league teams.
The extent to which that issue played into Correa’s decision is not clear.
