My 25th birthday (this past Tuesday) was a wild and crazy time. As I get older, I hope that I never lose my fun side. Work hard, play hard. I will be in Gainesville this weekend, but next weekend, I will be down in Ft. Lauderdale to speak at the 2010 Nova Southeastern Sports and […]

It has been a very busy week. After concluding the 2010 UF Sports Law Symposium, it was time to take a day off and relax a bit. Then right back to work. Pete Parise is over in Venezuela representing Puerto Rico in the Serie del Caribe 2010, also known as the Caribbean World Series. He […]
Pete Parise continues to prove that he is ready to pitch in the big leagues this year.

There are many costs for baseball agents. It costs money to subscribe to scouting services, travel across the country to recruit players, travel across the country to visit current clients, and supply clients with equipment (your guys are making very little money while in the Minors). While not all clients will ask you to help […]
It took a while before mainstream media picked up on the Andy Oliver affair. Eventually, Andy’s case against the NCAA made national headlines, but before any true damage was done to the NCAA’s practice of restricting the rights of its student-athletes, Oliver settled with the association for $750,000. Now, there is a new athlete who […]
I’ve spoken about it on the radio and wrote about it here on SportsAgentBlog.com. Josh Johnson wanted a 4-year deal similar to the contract Zach Greinke received last year (4-years and $38 million). The Florida Marlins would only offer a 3-year deal worth $23 million. The gap seemed tremendous; something that would probably lead to […]
We are a week away from the date that MLB players who filed for arbitration and the teams they most recently played for, have to exchange figures prior to a potential arbitration hearing.
