Sheffield: Boras a 'bad person,' seeks money he doesn't deserve
Daily News Wire Services


Detroit Tigers slugger Gary Sheffield called Scott Boras, his former agent, a "bad person" in part for going after money the All-Star says he doesn't deserve.

The Tigers designated hitter has said he represented himself in negotiating a $39 million, 3-year contract with the Yankees in 2003. Boras has said Sheffield agreed to let him represent him when his contract with Atlanta ran out and filed paperwork seeking 5 percent of the $39 million.

Sheffield vowed to say a lot of "ugly things" about various topics when the case is resolved.

Boras declined to comment.

Sheffield described his experience as one of Boras' clients as "total hell . . . I shouldn't have ever introduced myself to him. Period. Bad person."

I don't care one way or the other if dirt gets spilled on Scott Boras,
but whenever I hear Sheffield talk I tune it out until it sounds like the parents on a Peanuts cartoon

Wah-wah wah-wah. Wah wah wah wah wah wah

Whenever he gets one os these burrs under his saddle he'll go on one of these tirades where he rants for about 20 minutes straight ... and makes absolutely no sense whatsoever.

I think Sheffield is great theater.

I'm glad he's not our embarrassment.
