ST. PETE, FL – The term ‘OMG” has taken a whole new meaning for the NY Mets. With players like Sean Manaea, Brandon Nimmo, Frankie Montas, and Juan Soto under contract for 2025 one would think that everything is lovely-dovey with the representation of those contracts.
The negotiator of those contracts is none other than, OMG… Scott Boras. The same agent who represents fan favorite Pete Alonso. After last week’s message to the fans, Mets owner Steve Cohen let it be known that he doesn’t like the way negotiations are going for the free agent Alonso.
It sounded like Boras was playing Cohen for a fool by some ridiculous demands for The Polar Bear. After giving in to Boras every demand and being delusional to his description of “Generational Player” in Juan Soto, it feels like Boras is taking kindness for weakness.
After all, he did get mind-blowing contracts for Nimmo, Montas and Manaea from “Uncle Stevie.” Did he think the hedge fund owner was such a kind fool that he can get extra amounts of ringed seals to feed the Polar Bear? Is Boras looking out for his client or looking to add to his 5% agents fee, which is probably almost at a trillion dollars.
Another past client that played for the Mets was Max Scherzer, and even more recently is free agent Juan Iglesias. OMG, isn’t that the player that ignited the 2024 Mets with his song that turned into the team slogan?
Pete Alonso would probably say, “Oh my f*ckin’ God,” to all this.
