Scott BorasBaseball front offices are beginning to realize that their expensive analytic valuation systems are somewhat of a fraud
Now, they're determining that this valuation system has a bit of a fraud to it, that it's not exactly quite real, because we have all these evaluations that they're making that are turning out to be probably about a 40% success rate to them... Whereas in just general scouting, the success rate may have been 60%. So all of a sudden there's an equilibrium being defined as to whether the old way or the new way [works better].

PFT CommenterJames Harden and Chris Paul hate each other because the Warriors drove them insane
These two guys are very outstanding basketball players... but they develop these little nitpicky things that they have to go at each other by because they're just not good enough to beat the Warriors.

Big CatKawhi Leonard is definitely leaving the Toronto Raptors
Doing a parade which looked awesome... and then continually answering questions when people say, like, 'What does this mean to Toronto?' and [Kawhi Leonard] is like, 'Well, it's something they can build on.'

What each franchise does is somewhat of a secret... you have ancillary revenue streams that are being created that under the rules they do not them to be a part of Revenue sharing some investing in hotels and restaurants and casinos...

Scott BorasI am very concerned about the physical toll on relievers during a 60-game season
What I'm most concerned about is through the bullpen. Because the frequency of use, the demands on them... the starting pitcher has to come out earlier... they are the backstop they are the in line for whatever irregularities occur in a game and it is those men that I have the greatest concern about.
Scott BorasThe MLB draft system is essentially a servitude that hurts the sport
The common theme was you get what the guy got last year, and if you don't accept it, you're greedy... So it basically turned into a servitude. And I really felt that was not good for the game because I felt we're going to lose the great athletes to other sports.
