I don't know why we'd blame Boras. The Twins likely wanted to pay Walker as little as possible to try to sign the remaining HS kids and Walker's camp likely wanted Walker to get paid as closely to the other four elite top picks as possible. Which, obviously is Boras' job and the right thing to do.

It always amazes me people get mad at the player and agent, but give the billionaire owners a pass. Always.

Eh,  this is like any business.  I think Twins have been very good in your contracts.  You and a few others seem jaded towards this organization claiming you are already done with the front office.  So  if it is Boras trying to get more money over slot, or more than agreed to, how is that exactly a Twins issue?  Boras needs to try to get the maximum money for his client,  the Twins try to keep towards a budget.  Langford went overslot and Boras is likely trying to do the same here.

A fair critique, but I've posted this thought for decades, and it has nothing to do with this FO.
