MLB agent Scott Boras negotiated $1.1 billion worth of free agent contracts this offseason for his clients. But he's still seething over how the situation with Carlos Correa and the New York Mets went down.
“He was a guy that Boston really wanted,’’ Boras said. “There’s not a lot of swing and miss there, great vision, he’ll adapt really well to Major League Baseball. I think he’ll be a great asset to them, no question.’’ with the Giants, including an opt-out after the 2023 season – almost immediately after the Correa talks collapsed in San Francisco.
Yet, there they were this past weekend, giving back to the game and trying to make a difference in young lives, volunteering their services at the MLB Dream Series. He invited all 80 of the high school players from the Dream Series to his home, telling them not to put any limits on their goals or desires, that anything in the game of baseball is possible.
“I love it, I just love it,’’ said Dunn. “It’s something my dad and I always dreamed of, playing on a team with everybody that looks like you. There’s just so few and far between.’’ “I couldn’t believe it, I was telling guys, no way did Chris Archer DM me,’’ Dunn said. “But it was from him. It was a verified account. I remember he said, “'Listen, bro, there are very few of us in the league. But if you ever need anything, just text me, I’ll be a voice for you, and a shoulder you can lean on.'" “It’s very important to me, man,’’ Dunn said. “It’s something I want to give back to young kids, let them I was once in their shoes.
Now, he’ll be out at least the first half of the season after struggling most of last season. Story produced a slash line of .293/.386./.776 with nine homers and 27 RBI in 68 plate appearances from May 10-26. The Red Sox, to compensate for the loss of Story, has expressed interest in free-agent shortstop Elvis Andrus and free agent infielder/outfielder Jurickson Profar.
Still, the Mets spent $451 million in free agency this winter, bringing back outfielder Brandon Nimmo and closer Edwin Diaz, and signing pitchers Justin Verlander, Kodai Senga and Jose Quintana.
