The Scott Boras effect: Another reason why the Phillies need Jake Arietta

We now sit only 50 days from Phillies Opening Day. Pitchers and catchers report in less than a week. But the lack of free agent signings has sparked a possibility that a free agent team will be formed for Spring Training.

So why aren’t free agents signing? Not enough money? No long term deals? Usual buyers like the Yankees and Dodgers are not as interested as previous years? Or maybe it is because of super agent Scott Boras.

It is very hard to find a true sports fan who does not know Scott Boras. He has been described as the most powerful agent in sports history.
