Forget about stolen bases and juiced home runs. The hottest talk in Major League Baseball right now surrounds a different kind of curveball. Whispers of Scott Boras, baseball’s ultimate dealmaker, contemplating retirement.

Yes, the architect of mega-contracts that make jaws drop faster than an Aroldis Chapman throw, may or may not be thinking about hanging up his pinstriped suit. The speculation stems from a casual observation by Jim Callis, MLB insider and resident Boras whisperer, during an Exclusive EssentiallySports interview.

Whispers in the wind: Is baseball powerhouse Scott Boras musing about retirement?

In the EssentiallySports exclusive, Callis hasn’t exactly declared that the Superagent is on the verge of sunset strolls and pinochle games. He acknowledges the agent’s legendary energy and current dominance, comparing him to Nick Saban, the college football maestro defying age like a vampire hoarding wrinkle cream. But Callis subtly plants the seed of doubt.

“I mean at some point it’s gonna come to an end,” he ponders, “I’m not suggesting like it’s gonna be next year or two,” Callus chuckles, “But, I mean is Scott gonna be doing this when he’s 80? Is he gonna be doing this when he’s 90?”

And that’s the question hanging over every trade rumor and contract negotiation like a curveball with Boras’ name scrawled on it. Can baseball’s ultimate power broker, the man who redefined player values and left GMs with heartburn more potent than a Chicago deep dish, really walk away from the game?

Callis’ words in the EssentiallySports Exclusive interview were whispers, not pronouncements. B-man might still be plotting record-breaking deals for years to come, leaving GMs reaching for their Tums instead of their checkbooks.
