The whole dynamic in Miami is fascinating to watch in an OJ-on-the-freeway kind of way. Loria, via his son-in-law Samson, says Boras will have no say in Jose Fernandez' use. Fernandez says that, as his authorized representative to management, Boras will be involved. Standoff time!
Dave Dombrowski has followed Pat Gillick with the reasoning -"If it takes 5 decent prospects to end up with one MLBtm player, then trading 3 good ones for a proven Major Leaguer is a no-lose deal. Even if I trade the good one, I'm even! -and I've got two more to trade!" Now Dombrowski has a loaded (by reputation) farm system to deal from and needs a front line pitcher.
Whadda ya think. Fernandez in Boston by Thanksgiving? or Christmas?
