Agent Scott Boras has shot down any hopes the Royals had of signing rookie first baseman Eric Hosmer to a long-term extension. Boras told Yahoo! Sports he expects massive increases in television revenue to change the landscape of salaries in baseball. "Athletes have to know that you have to look at the market you're in," Boras said. "You can't look at the markets of the past. For players like Hosmer, as you go back and look, as [Mark] Teixeira had his own market and [Prince] Fielder had his own market, Hosmer will have his own. And something tells me it's going to be a rather eventful one." Hosmer, who debuted with Kansas City last week, is not due to become a free agent until after the 2017 season. "The arbitration markets and free-agent markets are going to be vastly different," Boras said. Considering networks handed out a 12-year, $3 billion deal for the Pac-12 TV rights and the NHL was given a 10-year, $2 billion contract, MLB's next deal should dwarf the seven-year, $3 billion contract it signed in 2006. "Sports are not DVR'd," Boras said. "People stay and watch it. They don't flip channels. There's a broader way of understanding the market. There's huge values in sports broadcasting rights."
