Part 6/8:
The Waiting Game: The Downside of Boras’ Strategy

As seen in previous seasons, such strategies resulted in notable players facing delays well into the offseason before signing.
As anticipation mounts, there is speculation that Alonso might want to take control of his situation sooner rather than later, especially considering the tricky dynamics involved with his agent. For Alonso, the ideal scenario is to return to New York, where he enjoys popularity and stability.
