You have to wonder if the owners are changing their stance on the free wheeling demands of agents that create massively growing contracts in the MLB and all sports.

They are seeing how many people are turning against high salaries and contracts in other areas of the financial sector so they may be about to apply that same mentality a little more in their own business.

May of these players are being paid million of dollars for failure.

I'm willing to bet there are a number of owners who simply won't deal with an A-hole agent like Scott Boras.

He has had a reputation for negotiating enormous contracts in the past, but it's gotten to the point now where he's probably not doing his clients any favors by chasing prospective bidders away.

The A-Rod fiascos in both Texas and New York (and the aborted contract offer from Boston) offer some interesting insight into how he's has sometimes adversely affected the players he represents.
