This could be the most bizarre On To The Next One stories we have covered to date. New York Yankees pitcher Ivan Nova made his first Major League start in August 2010. Perhaps he has the power to confuse batters with his pitches. According to a variety of reports that I have read as of late, Nova […]
Baseball agent Dan Lozano of Icon Sports Group has recently found himself on the right side of our On To The Next One segment. In the beginning of 2011, New York Yankees right fielder and first baseman Nick Swisher left Ohio based agent, Joe Bick of Pro Star Management, Inc for Danny Lozano. Then, it was reported that young stud Yonder Alonso of the Cincinnati Reds […]
Earlier this week, the world was told that an MLB agent used porn star Bibi Jones, who’s work can be easily found on websites similar to https://www.nu-bay.com/, to assist him in the recruitment of potential clients. Just yesterday, the same journalist who broke the first story released the name of the agent. According to Tony […]
Arizona Diamondbacks second baseman Aaron Hill has left Beverly Hills Sports Council and signed with Brian Peters and Greg Genske of Legacy Sports Group. Liz Mullen of SportsBusiness Journal tweeted the change of representation just yesterday. Hill was traded by the Toronto Blue Jays to the Arizona Diamondbacks only a couple of months ago. The Blue Jays received […]
Ivan Nova is not the only professional athlete who was almost on to the next one. However, Nova’s case, he actually left his agent and signed with another representative prior to returning to his original agent. A couple of weeks ago, Philadelphia Eagles runningback LeSean McCoy fired Drew Rosenhaus, seriously considered signing with Mike Vick’s agent Joel […]
Right around the 10th anniversary of Jeff Frye hitting for the cycle with the Toronto Blue Jays came the unfortunate news that he was fired by BBI Sports Group. However, I have heard that Frye still owns one-third of the company. Frye had been a partner with agent Jay Franklin at Franklin-Frye Sports for some time before the company […]
First Round Gerrit Cole (Pittsburgh Pirates) – Boras Corp. – I assume this negotiation was not as brutal as Pedro Alvarez’s? Danny Hultzen (Seattle Mariners) – Creative Artists Agency Trevor Bauer (Arizona Diamondbacks) – Wasserman Media Group Dylan Bundy (Baltimore Orioles) – Jay Franklin (BBI Sports Group) – I hope he will look as good […]
There is no American sport as statistically driven as baseball. In fact, there was a book published called Moneyball: The Art of Winning an Unfair Game written by Michael Lewis (and soon to be a movie on it starring Brad Pitt), which highlights the Oakland A’s focus on new age statistics to create a strong, […]
When I first heard that Francisco (K-Rod) Rodriguez was switching agents from Paul Kinzer of Wasserman Media Group to Scott Boras of Boras Corp., I praised Kinzer for a job well done in his representation of the former New York Mets closer. After all, Kinzer helped Rodriguez negotiate a 3-year, $37 million deal, which included a very impressive $17.5 […]
Francisco Rodriguez, better known as K-Rod, is currently performing under a 3-year, $37 million contract that he signed with the New York Mets in 2008. If K-Rod closes 55 or more games this season, he will stay with the Mets in 2012 and earn a total of $17.5 million for that one year of service. […]
