A year after not signing with the Mets, Kumar Rocker is officially a member of the Rangers, after being taken with the No. 3 pick in the MLB draft on Sunday. However, Rocker’s advisors still seem to be upset with how last year’s draft went down.
On The Show podcast with Joel Sherman and Jon Heyman, Scott Boras, who has represented Rocker since last year, said he told Mets owner Steve Cohen he has to learn from the mistake he made by not signing Rocker.
“I told Steve Cohen that while you’re an owner, you just have to listen to people that appraise certain elements of drafted players. And we strongly disagree with the appraisal that the Mets placed on Kumar,” Boras said, via Audacy. “We had said that to him, as an advocate—I’m sure if I’m an owner I’m gonna look at this and say I expect the advocate to say that for the player—our medical staff, we have our own internal medical staff, we were very thorough about this.”
