That's.... something
a) why would Hoffman do that
b) he doesn't have the pitch mix to go through a lineup 2-3 times

Same reason as Jordan Hicks. More $$$.
Eno's a big pitch nerd and seems to think he does. It's 3 above average to plus pitches and he had good command last year. Of course where do those pitches land when he's stretched out remains a question but he has started in the past.
Did you not notice the big name Boras clients last season that didn't get deals done until the end of spring/beginning of the season?
And that they took a haircut.
This lays it out pretty good.
The clock may be ticking on Scott Boras’ MLB reign
Playoff hero Jordan Montgomery fired Boras after being one of several big-name free agents to sign late for a much lower contract than expected.

That is on the players. Boras works for them. Blame starts with them.Did you not notice the big name Boras clients last season that didn't get deals done until the end of spring/beginning of the season?

Isn't it the agent's job to know the salary market and advise their clients of the range that should be expected?

Boras wouldn't allow them to take less than what he thinks they're worth (until the market reveals they're 100% not worth that). No player is going to tell that man, "no, take the deal."

Well one of the 4 players who got shafted by Boras last year fired his ass. But he didn't have a team until after the season started because he wanted to believe Boras would get him what was discussed.
You said blame starts with the player. Not if they were working with in good faith that Boras would get them the deals he said he could.

They can say what they want there is no guarantee. When the agent is presented an offer from a team it is then up to the player to decide what to do. Would you agree?
