They were playing chicken with him. Henry says "I guess we're not going to be a factor"?? Boras must think "Okay...cool. I know who WILL be a factor. You don't want to play by MY rules? I know who will. Let's see how you like Tex signing with the Yanks for what amounts to the same money?"<BR/>As usual, his client got the most money, and his client got exactly what he wanted.
