Scott Boras thinks `pitching panic’ is setting in. Sonny Gray’s iffy hamstring may prove he’s right
Associated PressScott Boras thinks an uptick in what he’s calling “pitching panic” will heat up the market for free agents and Boras clients Blake Snell and Jordan Montgomery, top-end starters still looking for work with opening day less than a month away. “Getting to come back, be in an organization like the Giants, a team that’s not afraid to spend, go get free agents, keep guys together and keep adding,” Chapman said. “I’d rather have it now than go to free agency and see what happens.” VLADDY GOES DEEP, REALLY DEEP Toronto Blue Jays slugger Vladimir Guerrero Jr. hit his first home run of spring training, taking a 93 mph inside fastball from Philadelphia’s Nick Nelson in the first inning and turning it into a 438-foot drive over the batter’s eye at TD Park. SKENES GETS HIT AND BOUNCES BACK Pirates pitching prospect Paul Skenes, the top overall pick in last summer’s amateur draft, enjoyed a bit of a roller coaster in his second spring training appearance.
