Scott Boras Player Quotations

That's up to the individual player. I think any major league player realizes that ... they've got a career, a future and a reputation inside the game. I don't know what a player will have to gain by disclosing historical facts that have nothing to do with his career.

With all of the talks he had with American and Dominican players, he got a feel for this and made the right decision. I think he understood the importance of a player of his stature competing in this event.

They were doing this for market purposes, not to help the team individually. It's never in best interest of an individual club to disclose which player they're going to tender or not tender. The free agent market has been artificially manipulated by owner conduct.
