Rafael Soriano has hired Scott Boras just a few weeks before becoming a free agent. "The closer market has not had anybody as a free agent with those kind of seasons and is 30 years old in the market,?? Boras said. Boras called Soriano's performance "a historic season" - citing the limited number of other closers to have 44 or more saves with an ERA under 2.00 and a 92-percent sucess rate. Soriano is playing under a one-year, $7.25-million contract after being acquired, unexpectedly, from the Braves in December. He has been represented by Peter Greenberg.
