Boras my be the poster child for enormous contracts but I just cant help speculating as to whether this is not just about Boras but about enormous contracts in general.

You see many people complaining about the salaries and contracts of Wall Street and other industries as well. Now we finally are seeing a news worthy pushback against clients of Boras as well. Coincidence?

I think this may be strategic on the part of owners and that they are trying to use pubic opinion as a backdrop for this.

That's a possibility. One reality in play here is that most MLB teams simply aren't able to afford signing a lot of these players anyway. A free agent with his eye on a huge contract is pretty much confined to playing on the following teams:

1. Yankees
2. Mets
3. Red Sox
4. Braves
5. Angels
6. Phillies

These are the teams that can afford to sign those high-priced players, so the market is already constrained by financial realities for the rest of them.
