This situation could work the other way too. There might be 1 or 2 teams willing to pay 15 per, but they think no one else will, so they play hardball. However, when it gets to the beginning of March, someone might give in, thats what Boras may be hoping for. Boras might still come out of this looking like a genius.

If he doesn't reduce his price, his bluff gets called, and he concludes that there really is no team willing to pay 15 per, then with the short time remaining and the rosters almost full, he'll be forced to put a 4-year contract out on Ebay with zero reserve and hope he gets a bid war.
