Atlanta Braves Morning Chop: what’s an outfielder worth?

The Atlanta Braves need an outfielder for 2019 – whether that’s a left or right fielder is to be determined, but one is essential.

While there appears to be a deep chasm between those who would like to see Bryce Harper fill that role, it’s already become obvious that his agent – Scott Boras – isn’t inclined to make the process easy at all.

In fact, he may have already completely eliminated the Braves from even bothering to inquire.

Boras is all about this self-built reputation of getting the most dollars for his clients – and thus the ‘premium’ players have tended to gravitate toward hiring him for contract representation.
