CARLSBAD, Calif. — The most powerful player agent in baseball, Scott Boras, went all bird-hunter mode during his annual media session at the general managers meetings on Wednesday, placing the Blue Jays squarely in his cross hairs, harshly criticizing the organization for the way it has done business.

As he has done often in the past, Boras hammered MLB teams that he believes don’t do enough (in his eyes) to win — i.e. spend loads of money — and sharply criticized teams that he feels have wrongly embarked on a rebuild/tanking route, which he says has driven away fans. The Jays had the sharpest drop in attendance of all teams this past season.

“We have 17 teams in baseball where the attendance has declined — 17 out of 30. We have six stadiums where they had the lowest attendance of their stadium history. We’ve had a total drop in attendance of roughly 4%. Now, some of the things we heard about this was it was due to weather. However, the two largest drops in attendance, of over 800,000 fans, have been in domed stadiums — Toronto and Miami.”
