With Arroyo, Burnett and Yoon going to the Diamondbacks, Phillies, and Orioles, it looks like the Blue Jays, Mariners, Rockies, Yankees and Indians may be the teams left standing.

This is problematic for Ervin, as all of these teams have professed that they're not looking to spend a lot more through FA (with the Rockies and Blue Jays previously refusing to negotiate with Ervin's target of 4/60).

Sure, it's possible that Ervin will still catch lightning in a bottle, but it's much more likely that's he's going to make much less than he could have with a different agent. Add in the fact that his agent OPENLY bashed David Glass over twitter, and it's unmistakably clear that his agent was in over his head with his demands this offseason.


TLDR: Ervin's agent sucks, caused Ervin to lose out on potential suitors and openly trashed David Glass over twitter.

Agreed, Santana's agent is an idiot.
