This tour of Boras clients shall conclude with Blake Snell, who has one very notable player stumping for him to join the New York Yankees.

"It would be unbelievable to have two Cy Young winners going back to back; it'd be great," Juan Soto, who teamed with Snell in San Diego in 2022 and 2023, told Heyman. "[Snell's] a great guy, a great player. Any help that we can get I would love."

But if Snell is going to join Gerrit Cole in New York—thus making the Yankees the first team since the 1990 Kansas City Royals with both reigning Cy Young Award winners on their roster—it's probably not going to be on his terms.

Per a January report from Nightengale, Snell and Boras responded to a six-year, $150 million offer from the Yankees with a whopping counteroffer: nine years, $270 million.

A deal like that was likely never possible, and even Snell and Boras seem to realize it isn't now. Per another report from Heyman, Boras has been pitching a shorter deal with higher average annual values and opt-outs.

Another Bellinger deal, basically. And whether it's the Yankees, the Angels or someone else who agrees to it, the parameters of the Bellinger deal make it that much easier to do the math on what Snell might be in for.

Projection: 3 years, $100 million with opt-outs after 2024 and 2025
