Ranking Scott Boras free agency puns fro

During the MLB's GM meetings on Wednesday, agent Scott Boras had a lot to say about many of his clients with the underway. To liven things up a little bit, Boras came prepared with some puns to help sell his clients a little bit more than usual.Boras spent quite a bit of time with reporters, and he shared creative updates about the status of free agency as a whole, as well as specific players. Boras gave some interesting answers about , and many more of the offseason's top free agents.With Boras putting so much effort into most of his answers, we have decided to rank them from best to worst. Check out which of Boras' puns landed and which Orlando Magic Jeresy ones needed more time in the oven. , who transcribed some of Boras' more notable answers. 1. On the interest level in shortstop Xander BogaertsAs someone with tickets to opening night of "Black Panther: Wakanda Forever," I can certainly appreciate the first half of this answer. Then, Boras went the extra mile and rolled a Humphrey Bogart reference in there as well. He definitely went over this one a few times before throwing it out in front of reporters.2. On exercising his one-year player option to stay in Aaron Gordon Jersey Boston Frankly, this is just good sense. Instead of chasing bigger money on the free agency market, which he may or may not have gotten, Paxton chose to take the guaranteed $4 million from the for the 2023 season. We can all learn a little something from this one.3. On teams looking at pitcher At the risk of making a pun out of Boras' pun, this was a thinking man's joke. There's nothing wrong with getting a little art and culture in your life. This is another joke where I can appreciate Dominique Wilkins Jersey the level of work Boras put into it beforehand. 4. On the interest level in pitcher This had some dad joke energy to it, and while I am not a father, it does sound like something my own dad would try. I also enjoy that this displays Boras' knowledge of world geography. Someone paid attention in school.5. On what teams are getting in We've got another reference to a Disney property from Boras. The mouse really does run mostly everything. This one may not be quite as good as the X-Men crack above, but it absolutely works. Now if only fans can make like Dory and forget that postseason appearance.6. On the free agency market overallWhile this isn't the most creative joke in Boras' arsenal, it does paint a good picture Orlando Magic Hats of what free agency might look like this offseason. Hopefully, this does come to fruition, and fans get to watch teams get into bidding wars over the best players in the game. 7. On the spending in free agencyI'm not sure whether Boras is referring to the Rangers' actual roster or how much money they're willing to throw out in free agency. If it's the former, he has to be lying. If it's the latter, which I a sume it is, Texas might be poised to make a splash and take a big step forward next summer.8. Another answer about BogaertsThe first Bogaerts joke was better. Quit while you're ahead, Scott. You should know that.9. On what Carlos Correa can bring to a team It seems like Boras is really pushing Chuma Okeke Jersey Correa here, but is that nece sary? It seems like Correa would have plenty of interest, even without Boras comparing him to luxury brands. Also, it doesn't seem like there's a good pun in here, unle s it has just gone completely over my head.10. Updates on players for whom Boras may or may not have prepared jokesI don't think Boras had prepared answers for these players, and he kind of just threw them together at the last minute. The Manaea joke really stands out as one he threw together on the spot. The update on Matthew Boyd is in that same vein.
