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.
