Scott Boras Is Pissed Off At MLB After Kris Bryant’s Latest Injury
Not only did the Cubs have a meltdown for the ages against the Cardinals this past weekend, but on Sunday Kris Bryant left early after spraining his ankle trying to beat out a double play.
Bryant slipped on first base and was in serious pain as he was helped off the field.
Bryant’s agent, Scott Boras, is pissed off at MLB over the wet and slippery bases.
Via the Chicago Sun-Times.
“What have they done since Harper? The answer is: nothing,” said agent Scott Boras, who lobbied for safety measures in the wake of Harper’s injury. “They’re focused on other factors, economic factors, all things relating to how they can administer the game, and yet the safety of players and resolution of this issue has gone without any attention.”
“The integrity of our game is going to damaged when the safety of players is not at the forefront, and Major League Baseball has dropped the ball on the wet bag subject.”
Boras is especially mad that MLB appears to be more concerned about teams finishing games despite rainy conditions, while ignoring the safety concerns that may lead to injuries like the one Bryant had on Sunday and Bryce Harper suffered a few years ago.
Bryant had an MRI on his ankle Monday. Results are expected to be revealed on Tuesday.
