Agent Scott Boras demands hard innings limit for Matt Harvey
by Nick Ritrivi | Fri, Sep 4th 3:26pm EDT
Agent Scott Boras is reportedly at odds with the Mets in the handling of his client Matt Harvey. Specifically, Boras is demanding that the Mets shut Harvey down at 180 IP on the season. Boras is predicating his position on the medical recommendations received after Harvey underwent Tommy John surgery, alleging that said recommendations were mandates. This innings limit would include any post-season innings thrown by Harvey. Harvey has already thrown 166.1 IP on the year. The Mets, while they have implemented a six-man rotation for the remainder of the regular season, have no intention of shutting Harvey down. (NBC Sports on Twitter)
Fantasy Impact:
It is not uncommon for agents to be at-odds with MLB team ownership; and it is unlikely the Mets will place a hard stop on Harvey and refuse to pitch him in the post-season. That said, the Mets may shut him down if, and when, they clinch the NL East impacting his fantasy value down the stretch. Stay tuned for the conclusion of yet another Mets' soap-opera.
