Scott Boras believes that two of his clients, Stephen Drew and Kendrys Morales, had their markets 'damaged' by executives and officials who negatively speculated in a recent article about their values.

The agent intends to pursue a grievance, going so far as to urge the league to use subpoena power to unearth their identities.

"It's a clear violation of the CBA," Boras said. "As many as five executives continue to use ESPN as a conduit to violate the collective bargaining agreement."

"The bell is rung," Boras continued. "Kendrys Morales and Stephen Drew were damaged by these comments."

The remarks were reported to have come from five team executives and an additional two team "talent evaluators" and ran in a lengthy ESPN piece three days ago. The article suggested the two free agents were hurt by holding out instead of signing earlier.
