Will Scott Boras' decision to delay actively seeking suitors for Barry Zito cost him? With so many teams having spent a lot of money already this off-season, the market for Zito appears to comes down to Texas and the Mets. Some scouts do not believe he is worth the money Boras seeks for his client. Asked whether they would give Zito a six-year deal, both a major-league scout and a major-league GM guessed they wouldn't. If the Mets don't offer a sixth year, it could prevent a deal from getting done. "I think he's slipped," one major-league scout told The Post. "The last two times I've seen him the last couple years, he wasn't on at all. He struggled getting his breaking ball over for strikes, and when he does that, he's in trouble. He can't get by on a power arm."
