Can't really blame them for feeling that way but you might have to wonder if they're cutting their nose to spite their face.

I didn't read the article... but I can presume what happened and say that if Agents aren't going to be honest and forthright in their dealings, what really are you losing? Seems to me you'd be saving a lot of wasted time in negotiations that weren't really going to lead anywhere, you just didn't know it.

Good stuff... Although it sucks for any existing Brave who is represented by Tellem. I'd much prefer to team's make it public which agent(s) they have no use for so players know which agents are not going to be able to deal with certain teams. Much better than the rumors of certain teams ignoring Boras clients.

Arn Tellem screwed the Orioles over as well with Vlad Guerrero.

A serious question for the lawyers on here. How do these agents not run afoul of ethics reviews and even charges of Fruad in the way the negotiations are handled? I would think that an agent that completely makes up a offer would be guilty of fraud in the inducement of a contract. I know I am careful in my own business negotiations about what I say and how I say it, maybe I would get over on more people if I just acted like a sports agent?

If the agent is also a lawyer, then he has ethical requirements imposed on him by the bar of the state(s) in which he is licensed. It would be very easy for a party who felt that the lawyer had violated the ethical rules to file a complaint before the state bar.

      Orioles acquire Ryan O’Hearn

      Fantastic pickup by Elias and big kudos to O’Hearn for taking advantage of the resources to improve. He’s a great story.

      John Means 2024

      Given his injury history and what’s happening right now, Means may make more money as an Oriole next year than as a free agent. He may have to settle for league minimum as a FA but would do better than that in arbitration. Heck, unless he’s effective at least a little this year then the orioles might release him after the season to avoid paying more than league minimum. I hope Means recovers, very much so, but this scenario is possible imo.    ps. I guess I ignored the part where you said if Means thinks he is healthy.

      Jackson Holliday 2024

      What I'd like to see in the next game Holliday plays, is for him to keep his eyes following through on the ball when he swings. In the last game I saw, he was yanking his head off the zone when he swung and couldn't see the bat to the ball. He was missing wildly and it wasn't even competitive. So, keep your eye on the ball! Follow all the way through! If your swing is so violent that it's yanking your head off the sight of the ball, then adjust your mechanics because you can't hit what you can't see!

      What a great example of pedantic! Please tell us you meant to do that. I honestly can’t tell these days.

      Well it certainly doesn't look like he'll be winning Rookie of Year award. And if we send him down for like the tiniest amount of time, we get him for another year, right? I think if this poor hitting continues it's financial mismanagement not to send him back down. Grayson got sent down and came back way better.

      He certainly isn't a bust but I wasn't happy with the pick at the time and I don't love using the second overall pick for that type of player profile. Westburg signed for slot so he's irrelevant but Mayo was a great use of the money saved.
