  Well this is interesting...SuperAgent Scott Boras is saying that teams in big markets that don't spend in the upper tier of clubs (like the 2012 New York Mets) are "violating baseball ethics." Not so fast, says Sandy Alderson. The Mets GM says that's just Boras trying to create a market for his players, which is pretty obvious. A meaningless exchange, no doubt, but interesting that Boras would suggest this after being one of the sole reasons those big market teams are spending so much in the first place.
