More on the latest Scott Boras saga involving Pedro Alvarez...

Bustney Olney's take at ESPN.com. http://insider.espn.go.com/espn/blog/index?entryID=3560734&name=olney_buster&action=login&appRedirect=http%3a%2f%2finsider.espn.go.com%2fespn%2fblog%2findex%3fentryID%3d3560734%26name%3dolney_buster The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, where writer Dejan Kovacevic is definitely on top of the whole situation. http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/08241/907633-63.stm It appears that Scott Boras wanted a $9.5million bonus and a major league contract, not quite the $6million figure that Alvarez agreed to and signed on. Once again, Boras is proving he's above no tactic as he tries to manuever this issue on a meritless claim. History shows that in the past Boras' clients have had the MLB deadline extended and there was no problem as it suited Boras' interests. What a jerk! Finally, Paul White at USA Today writes a small story on the matter. http://www.usatoday.com/sports/baseball/nl/pirates/2008-09-01-alvarez_N.htm?loc=interstitialskip But for the definitive version, go the Post-Gazette story.
