Scott Boras Slammed by Baseball Fans for Novel World Series Suggestion

Published on

MLB super-agent Scott Boras’s annual press conference has come to be viewed as something of a baseball State of the Union. The baseball power broker traditionally holds court at the general manager meetings following the conclusion of the season, using the opportunity to hype up his clients while waxing poetic on the state of the game at any given time.

On Wednesday, Boras may have taken his opinions a step too far as he unveiled a take that stuck in baseball fans’ craws. Boras suggested to reporters that the World Series be played at a neutral site every year, something that has only happened once (2020) in the event’s 120-year history.

Apart from a few contrarians, MLB fans quickly expressed their displeasure with Boras’s recommendation.

Perhaps the most effective rebuttal to Boras’s argument was footage of classic World Series crowds, such as Fenway Park during the Red Sox’s 2013 triumph over the Cardinals.

Some suggested that at his core, Boras is little different from the posting class of baseball fans.

Many noted the audacity it took for Boras to even bring up such a change.

Also common were concerns that fans of participating teams may be priced out, as is frequently the case in the Super Bowl.

MLB commissioner Rob Manfred, for his part, floated exploring future neutral-site World Series during the COVID-19 pandemic but baseball has not yet acted on the idea.
