Busy week with the MLB Draft. Had some clients we were advising get drafted and some surprisingly go undrafted. One thing is always certain about the MLB Draft – there is a lot of uncertainty going into it. I know a lot of you want to know the names of the guys that Dynasty has […]
No I’m not talking about LeBron playing for the Lakers, but that other Los Angeles team, the Clippers, if you forgot they existed. The New York Post and ESPN recently reported that David Geffen, the billionaire entertainment mogul, wants to buy a controlling share in the Clippers. More importantly, Geffen told current owner Donald Sterling […]

Now that we have changed the look and feel of SportsAgentBlog.com, I am just waiting for the multi-million dollar buyout offers to start pouring in. On a serious note, though, congrats to a blog I have been reading for a while now, The Big Lead, on earning a cool 7-figures after being bought out this […]
For eight years, action sports icon Shaun White has worked with agent Mark Ervin and IMG. This was a successful and lucrative pairing that saw White become one of the most recognizable faces in sports, but like they say, all good things eventually come to an end. Last week, White dropped Ervin for the services […]
