Part 6/12:
Scott Boros, Alonso’s agent, has reportedly been seeking a seven-year deal—similar to deals given to Matt Chapman and Marcus Semien—though the hosts suggest that such offers are generally inflated and not aligned with Alonso’s actual worth. The podcast points out that Boros often posts bold figures during negotiations but that fair compromises are eventually reached after a waiting period. They referenced past negotiations, like JD Martinez’s initial seven-year, $200 million request, which ultimately resulted in a shorter deal—highlighting the typical agent playbook.
