ReplyDeleteI am glad to here this!Dumb @ss wont sign a million dollar contract and now he cant even make Florida!He is going to find himself working at a convience store soon!That or being a career minor leaguer.I hope Strasburg doesnt sign either just for pickin Boras as his agent.People need to stop picking him or there might be more Matt Harringtons.
