Chapman fires agent, hires Hendricks bros.
A bit surprised, considering that his previous agent had been touting him as a left-handed Strasburg (inaccurate) and suggested he could get a $60 million dollar contract. Why not just go with Boras and get double that? Also, considering the other guy, no name that he is, had been negotiating for months now, that kind of… sucks for him.
The Hendricks Bros represented Roger Clemens and Jay Buhner, along with current guys like Andy Pettite and Kendry Morales. I would say that if you were holding out hope that the M’s were going to do something here, that might be diminished now. Personally, I think he’s interesting, but not worth nearly as much as he wants. He’s not polished enough to deserve it.

I saw that earlier
and it made me wonder about the rules regulating player-agent relations. I mean, the ten percenters in general are a sleazy and distasteful bunch but work is work and if players can change agents at whim it must make it near impossible for new ones to elbow out a little room at the table. Also, it made me think of Betancourt and the story from the Vanity Fair article.
