Kenny Rogers Fires Scott Boras

This makes me giddy

Good, it's about time someone realized their best interests weren't put forth by Boras. Good job

God Bless KR. I thought Id never say that, being that KR has been quite a tool in his day, but its about friggin time. I just wis ARod would go that route as well.

I don't think the demise of Boras is imminent. This is an individual situation where the player and the agent could not see eye to eye on an issue. Rogers just wants to stay in Detroit but Boras wanted to get Rogers the biggest deal he could. Maybe this was caused by a lack of communication, and Rogers realized he couldn't get what he wanted with Boras doing his bidding. That is purely speculation on my part though.

I think quintjs is on the right track: Boras just doesn't work for what Rogers obviously wants to do at this point in his career. For him it's not about squeezing every last dollar out of a team, he's 43 years old and wants to pitch probably just one more year and not have to move in the process. This was the best move for him at this point in his career but make no mistake: players will not be fleeing from Boras, the man who helped make many of them millionaires.

i read that maddux actually did that deal on his own even though boras is his agent.
