What Scott Boras wants for clients he usually gets, that’s why Major League Baseball teams are wary of dealing with his clients. So I expect free-agent outfielder Shin-Soo Choo to receive a very lucrative contract this offseason.
ESPN baseball insider Jerry Crasnick says teams already know how much it will take to sign the very productive South Korean.
MLB teams say Scott Boras seeking a Shin-Soo Choo contract worth more than Jayson Werth's $126M deal with #nationals.

Boras stressing Choo's .389 career OBP, durability and track record at leadoff — a tough position for MLB teams to fill.

Choo also made 150 starts in CF for #reds in 2013, but most teams see him as a corner OF guy.
