SAN DIEGO — Whether it was a rumored appearance at the downtown San Diego barbecue joint featured in “Top Gun,” a spotting in the wild of the lobby bar at the Winter Meetings hotel, appointments in front office suites around baseball, or standing before a backdrop branded with the Boras Corp. logo, superagent Scott Boras seemed to be everywhere this week.
Known — or, rather, notorious — for slowing the pace of the free agent market as if tenderizing, caretaking the best brisket even if it takes till March to serve, Boras instead goosed the action this week.
