Kenny Rogers becomes the latest player disenchanted with Scott Boras:

He informed the Major League Baseball Players Association of his decision Friday. The union then asked baseball to notify its clubs, and an e-mail was sent to all general managers and assistant general managers.

Rogers, who could not be reached for comment, did not communicate directly with the Tigers on Friday, but the decision to terminate Boras almost certainly is linked to his desire to remain in Detroit.

On Friday morning, Rogers wrote in an e-mail to the Free Press that re-signing with the Tigers was his "first priority."

The statement aligned more with comments Rogers made during the season -- "There's no place I want to play other than this" -- than Boras' assertion last week that Rogers had to be "properly placed in the current market."

Twice now, Boras' pursuit of a high market value for a player and that player's desire to play for a particular team collided. Maybe Scott forgot that he's the employee in these relationships.
