Good luck, man. He must really hate spring training. 

Guy sucks anyway.

Maybe he was impressed with how much Boras 5 got from this winter. 

As Hawk would say, "He gone!"

Can't wait.

Not even Boras can turn chicken s%*# into chicken salad. Good like Michael.

I will hire a moving van for him

If he wasn't already going, he sure as hell is now.

Boras probably wants to know who gave Kopech his number

It can’t be soon enough.

MK will need all the help he can get

He should have worried about hiring someone to teach him how to pitch before hiring that clown.

My mind immediately went to 'Tuah'

Ha! Adios, dipshit.

“I usually only represent baseball players, but I guess I’ll make an exception.”

Bye sunshine 

Maybe Boras gave him his first piece of advice: "Start listening to your coaches". 

“Did you guys hear that my new client just pitched an immaculate inning today?”

That's the final straw for me. Bring out Carl Everett. 

Perfect. Make him even more untradable being a Boras client. 

 

 

He definitely is no good. I'd still move him to starter, though.

You have to wonder if players eventually see him as bad for baseball.  I get it they want the most money possible.  Then you have players crying collusion in a sport that seems to be dwindling in popularity.    That exists more in the world of sports.

Baseball attendance seems to be pretty good though overall.

And given the way the free agent market played out over the last few years I can definitely see some collusion in play. How many times have the owners been fined for this before?

I can absolutely see this as an issue in 2026 when the labor deal is up. Some folks are already saying that season will be disrupted. 

 

Man, Bernstein and Holmes were just absolutely destroying Kopech today on their show over his postgame comments about being reticent to throw anything other than fastballs.

As well they should.  This isn't like he has had a bad couple of outings.  Dude has been failing for years now.  It blows me away that a guy on the brink of free agency would be this uncoachable when he has had so little sustained success with his insane level of potential.
