Scott Boras, the agent for free-agent lefty Wei-Yin Chen, dropped jaws recently when he declared that he was looking for a five-year, $100 million contract for his client. In a deep market that featured several top-class aces like David Price, Zack Greinke and Johnny Cueto, the idea that a second-tier starter without much name value would earn such a contract seemed unlikely -- and it's of course an agent's job to ask for more than he expects in order to have room to negotiate downward.
