ESPN's Buster Olney appeared on
WEEI's Mutt & Merloni Show on Wednesday and made a convincing case that—
if he gets to free agency—
Jacoby Ellsbury is history in Boston. Noting that Ellsbury has a reputation as a "Scott Boras guy" who will let the mega-agent take the lead, Olney expects the center-fielder to have no involvement in negotiations. Unlike other Boras clients like
Jered Weaver and
Elvis Andrus (who both got more personally involved in their deals), Jacoby is more likely to follow the pattern of
Mark Tiexiera and seek the biggest dollar offer available.
