Boras to players: Don’t ‘bail out the owners’

Agent Scott Boras recommended to his clients that they reject Major League Baseball's proposals to cut salaries any further in 2020.

This is according to a report by the Associated Press, who obtained an email Boras sent to his clients.

"Remember, games cannot be played without you," Boras wrote to his clients. "Players should not agree to further pay cuts to bail out the owners. Let owners take some of their record revenues and profits from the past several years and pay you the prorated salaries you agreed to accept or let them borrow against the asset values they created from the use of those profits players generated.
