00:03 For the names still available on the free agency market,

00:06 who do you think is the best available player that can make an immediate impact

00:10 for whatever club he signs with in the bids?

00:13 >> Yeah, so I do think it's the second name on this list.

00:16 I think it's Jordan Montgomery and there is a nickname circulating the baseball

00:20 world about the front four on this list and they're calling it the Boris four

00:24 because all four are represented by the Boris Corporation and

00:28 Scott Boris has been notoriously late with a lot of his big ticket free agent guys.

00:34 Some of them have gotten massive deals in December,

00:37 some of them have gotten massive deals in January.

00:40 But you think about some of the $300 billion deals or

00:43 200 that he's negotiated, and they come in early March.

00:46 Sometimes they come in mid March, and

00:48 sometimes he'll hold a guy like Steven Drew out until May or June.

00:52 That's a deep cut name for all you baseball fans, but

00:55 this is not unfamiliar territory for Scott Boris.

00:59 I wonder if it's good, I wonder what level of posturing is happening right now.

01:05 All I will tell you is there may be some teams that show up to camp,

01:12 have their full team arrive, and then someone pulls a hammy.

01:15 And then you start to panic, and

01:16 that's where Scott Boris starts to smell blood in the water.

01:20 I mean, you look at the trade rumors surrounding the Baltimore Orioles when

01:24 Kyle Braddish shows up and he's got an elbow sprain.

01:26 It's, do we need to go get another starting pitcher?

01:29 Those are things that the Orioles were not accounting for

01:32 before they got to camp.

01:33 So I think those four are being hampered by their agent, but

01:37 they may be making more money right now because of their agent.
