if I was a pro athlete I'd want Borus...

His job is to do what's in his clients best interest, which is up to the player and most of them say "get me the most you can" and thats what he does.

Should baseball have a cap? I dunno about that, on one hand you may level the playing field on the other what right does someone have to tell a company "you cant spend your profits on making your team better". Plus, you have the steinbrenner argument against the luxury tax.

His issue always was he's fine paying it, however the teams that get the money should be required to increase their payroll by that amount or lose the funds because otherwise it defeats the purpose.

if the Royals have a 20mil payroll and from the luxury tax get another 5mil but keep payroll at 20mil, that what good has it done?
