Scott Boras did not have a great offseason. The famous MLB agent is known for getting the best deals for his clients, but that was not necessarily the case for Cody Bellinger, Matt Chapman, and now Blake Snell. All three players entered MLB free agency likely expecting to land lucrative long-term deals. Instead, each player settled for a short-term contract with opt outs.

Snell recently agreed to a two-year, $62 million contract with the San Francisco Giants. A 31-year-old pitcher fresh off a Cy Young season would typically land a longer deal but that did not come to fruition.

Bellinger, meanwhile, signed with the Chicago Cubs. He agreed to an $80 million contract for three years. Chapman also signed with the Giants on a three-year, $54 million deal.

An agent who requested anonymity made an eye-opening remark about Scott Boras' offseason on Monday, according to Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic.

“The Titanic had fewer people thrown overboard than the SS Boras,” the agent said.

One fan summarized the scenario and referred to Boras as “washed.”

“Cody Bellinger wanted $200+ million and got $80 million.

“Matt Chapman wanted $150 million and got $54 million.

“Blake Snell wanted $270 million and got $62 million.

“Washed,” the fan wrote on X (formerly Twitter).

Another fan posted a video that was intended to roast Boras.

“Scott Boras at the negotiating table,” the fan wrote.

Another fan didn't hold back in criticizing the agent.

“Scott Boras having a legendarily bad offseason. Wow,” the fan wrote after the Blake Snell-Giants deal was announced.

Finally, one fan held teams accountable in addition to Boras.

“I think this is a really good column (in reference to Ken Rosenthal's article for The Athletic which is linked above) and I think we should talk about how badly Scott Boras screwed up this offseason to the detriment of his clients. I also think more of the blame lies with the teams who have decided to stop paying for good players,” the fan wrote.

Do you think Scott Boras deserves blame for Snell, Bellinger, and Chapman receiving less money and years than what was originally expected?
