Every top draft pick has a lot of leverage. Every one. Bubba has less than most though because, if Boras wants to get paid he needs to sign. Boras won't have the luxury of telling his player to play college baseball, go back to college baseball, or go play Indy ball for a year. It's either sign now or go play football. (Which he could still do down the road, with millions in his pocket.) Plus, Bubba doesn't have the kind of pull that a Strasburg or Harper did because he hasn't proven himself at higher levels yet. A high school kid drafted this early has basically zero reason to not sign because the money won't get any better down the road.
