B/R AM: Two-Time Cy Young For Hire

There's an official 2024 MLB game today.

A 2023 Cy Young winner is still jobless.

Blake Snell -- along with Cody Bellinger, Jordan Montgomery, Matt Cashman and J.D. Martinez -- headlines the list of unsigned MLBers as 2024 begins, which no one is happy about.

What those stars have in common: Super agent Scott Boras.

Boras hates deadlines and loves stalemates but gets huge deals for stars, which is why players play the waiting game.

In terms of precedent: Boras-repped Bryce Harper didn't sign with the Phillies in 2019 until Feb. 28

So ... signings coming soon?
