Scott Boras said he was aware early on that Cody Bellinger and Blake Snell would have to choose between a high annual salary over the short term or a lower annual salary over the long term.
No matter how high the projected contracts or reported bids for outfielder Cody Bellinger or pitcher Blake Snell might have been last winter, the agent for both players said he was aware early on that the players would have to choose between a high annual salary over the short term or a lower annual salary over the long term. “We knew that going in,” agent Scott Boras said Thursday at Dodger Stadium, before the Dodgers played their home opener against the St. Louis Cardinals.
You’re either going to get the appropriate AAV , but you’re not going to get the length, or you’re going to get the length at a much lower AAV, so what do you choose?” The MLB Trade Rumors website projected that four Boras free agents — Bellinger, Snell, infielder Matt Chapman and pitcher Jordan Montgomery — each would sign for at least $150 million. None did; the four signed for a total of $221 million, or more than $100 million less than the Dodgers spent on pitcher Yoshinobu Yamamoto.
