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 […]
On April 15, 2008, I wrote about a merger that had a large impact on the world of coach representation. Stinson Morrison Hecker, one of the largest U.S. law firms, combined its Coaching division with Premier Sports Management’s Coaching division, to create Premier Stinson Sports.

Former Tennessee basketball player, Tyler Smith, has been able to sign an agent since he was kicked off of his school’s team for an arrest on New Year’s Day, when he was found with handguns and marijuana in his possession.

Rothstein, Rosenfeld, & Adler (RRA) is quickly gaining popularity for charges of money laundering and racketeering. Bob Norman has the byline on a piece titled, Rothstein Dreamed of Sports Empire.

Wichard is the man behind Pro Tect Management, a company that may not be heard about much in the media, but already has a very impressive client list. I’m also […]
Ryan O’Keefe gives us another look at the Gilbert Arenas issue. It is difficult to deem anything involving Gilbert Arenas as a surprise anymore. However, storing guns in his locker and then being accused of drawing a weapon on teammate Javaris Crittenton during an alleged altercation over a gambling debt certainly is not only surprising, […]
St. Louis Cardinals GM, John Mozeliak, opened his pocketbook two days ago and gave free agent outfielder Matt Holliday a 7-year deal worth $120 million. Although this put many St. Louis constituents’ worries to rest, it raises just as many questions as it answers in the Cardinals front office. The deal, negotiated by who else […]
