Well, that didn't last long.
We got all excited about new Royals baseball player Eric Hosmer and he helped us whup up on the Yankees and it all seemed good and hopeful and exciting and then the cold splash of reality hit.
From the Star Friday:
Boras spikes any hope for quick multi-year deal for Hosmer
NEW YORK | Any effort by the Royals to sign first baseman Eric Hosmer to a long-term deal is likely to be a waste of time.
Agent Scott Boras, who represents Hosmer, scuttled those hopes
Thursday by telling Yahoo! Sports that baseball’s changing financial
picture argues against such an extension at this time.
“Athletes have to know that you have to look at the market you’re in,’
Boras said. “You can’t look at the markets of the past. For players like
Hosmer, as you go back and look, as (Mark) Teixeira had his own market
and (Prince) Fielder had his own market, Hosmer will have his own.
“And something tells me it's going to be a rather eventful one.”
Boras’ message seems clear: Don’t bother trying.
