Prominent baseball agent Scott Boras characterized the Major League Baseball offseason market as a "Sku-bull" situation, suggesting players are "emboldened" heading into what he described as an offseason war, according to a report by USA Today's Bob Nightengale on November 11, 2026.
Boras, who represents numerous high-profile free agents, used the term "Sku-bull" to describe the current market dynamics, though he did not elaborate on the precise meaning in the brief report. The agent indicated that players feel empowered entering the free-agent period.
The comments come as MLB teams prepare for the winter meetings and the start of free agency, with several star players expected to change teams.
