Top Angels prospect Jo Adell has hired the Boras Corporatino to represent him, according to Jon Heyman of MLB Network (via Twitter). As always, you can find the latest agency information in MLBTR’s Agency Database.
Adell was chosen tenth overall in the 2017 draft. When he inked a deal that came with a $4,376,800 bonus, the consensus was that Adell would need a fair amount of time to hone his evident tools into MLB-ready skills.
As it turns out, Adell has moved much more quickly than anticipated. He finished the 2018 season at the Double-A level despite spending his entire first pro campaign at rookie ball.
The 20-year-old’s progress has made him one of the game’s best-graded overall prospects. Baseball Prospectus was especially bullish, ranking him second among all pre-MLB players leaguewide.
Unfortunately, Adell still hasn’t started his 2019 campaign owing to an ankle and hamstring injury suffered this spring. While he could resume his swift rise in short order, Adell likely won’t have a chance at forcing his way onto the MLB roster until relatively late in the 2019 season — if at all.
Have fun getting signed late March with 1/10th of your initial asking price in the free agency
considering he’s 7+ years away from that, I think you are thinking about it more than he is
Envy doesn’t become anyone pal…
Just assures himself he doesn’t sign a pennies on the dollar extension. Adell projects as an impact player and should be a FA when he’s 28. Exact kind of guy that Boras gets paid…..
if only my folks had loaded me up with growth hormone when I was an adolescent…
The Boras Corporatino? Is that really what he named his company?
A simple human error? Is that really what gets your boxers in a wad?
yuck. we will trade him before the ugly happens.
Yeah for an over the hill pitcher 2yeara last his prime and 2minor leaguers who will never see day light. Typical Angels move.
This won’t have an impact for several years. At the earliest he hits arbitration in 2023/2024 off season.
Contrary to popular opinion, plenty of Boras guys have signed extensions. Jered Weaver signed one here.
Yes he’s a conniving guy who plays a zero sum game for his players, but that’s his job.
Boras was not happy when Weaver wanted to sign an extension
Ah yes, the Boras Corporatino. Scott Boras’ non-union Mexican equivalent.
Ha nice Simpson’s dog
Stupid auto correct
I got to watch those two months in High-A. Kid is the real deal. 5-tool player.
