Alvarez/Boras backing out of deal.

Pirate fans should have seen this coming. Scott Boras is a world class asshole, but I think everyone knew that going into this. Hiring him as your agent is akin to screaming out to the baseball world "get ready for me, i'm a huge, problem causing asshole". Alvarez is just as guilty in this if he hired the guy, but obviously, the pirates need to make him look like the good guy. It seems like Boras/Alvarez have no real grounds in backing out of the contract, but with the way baseball and the Pirates operate sometimes, nothing would suprise me.
