Edwin Jackson is dropping super agent Scott Boras

Edwin Jackson had to settle for a one-year, $11 million free agent contract with the Nationals this past February after turning down multi-year offers from other organizations earlier in the offseason.

It’s worked out fine, with Jackson playing a major part in one of baseball’s best starting rotations, but the 28-year-old right-hander is clearly hoping things go a little better for him financially when he gets another shot to cash in this coming winter.

According to FOX Sports’ Ken Rosenthal, E-Jax has opted to leave agent Scott Boras and sign on with the Legacy Agency. And he will “almost certainly seek a long-term deal” if he hits the open market.

Jackson, who’s already on his eighth MLB team, has posted a 3.73 ERA and a 1.15 WHIP in 18 starts this season for first-place Washington. He’s fanned 86 batters and walked only 34 in 113 1/3 innings of work.
