Scott Boras quotes about
I heard some very serious things today that made me think there are going to be some clubs that are going to be very aggressive in the free-agent process.
I haven't talked to Greg about it, and he drives the train here.
I'm biased, but I think Johnny was tremendously valuable to the Red Sox, from a couple of standpoints. The first one being what he did for their team and the second one being what he could do to their team if he played for somebody else -- particularly the Yankees.
It was just something that was very difficult to work out.
He spoke to the commissioner and the Major League Baseball Players Association last week and they talked about the benefits of his participation in advancing baseball both nationally and internationally.
He spoke to many Dominican friends and American friends, and many American players. If he was going to play in the classic, he was going to honor his citizenship and play for the United States.
He took a lot less to come back to the Yankees because he values the Yankees tradition.

People say what we're doing is holding out when in reality the teams are trying to crush the draft market because they don't want to pay fair market value.
Drew is a player that comes along once every 20 years. Not even Barry Bonds can be compared to J.D. Drew.
The World Series is something that rarely gets to a number of venues in professional baseball. And that's one problem because we want the fan base of particular cities to participate in the World Series, even though there may be a lull in the particular performance of the regional team.
