Shabbat Shalom: Friday Wrap-Up (4/1/2011)

I am going on a year long trip around the world and will not be posting any updates to this site until 4/1/2012.  April Fools?  It feels good to have baseball again.  It is too bad that the headlines will continue to revolve around the NFL/NFLPA labor dispute.  I picked one Final Four team correctly […]

Shabbat Shalom: Friday Wrap-Up (3/11/2011)

The Miami Heat ended their losing streak by defeating the 2010 World Champion Los Angeles Lakers for the second time this season.  And order is restored in the world.  On Beyond The Game last week, I stated that it is too early for people to start panicking about the Heat.  The NBA is comprised of […]

On To The Next One: Michael Bourn

While Nick Swisher did not sign Scott Boras (he ended up going to Dan Lozano), Michael Bourn has made the move to Boras Corp.  Bourn was previously represented by SFX.  Prior to SFX, Bourn was represented by Beverly Hills Sports Council.  Some guys really have a problem picking an agent and sticking with him. Boras […]

On To The Next One: Robinson Cano

What happens when you become the hottest player on a team with the highest payroll in baseball?  Perhaps you ask one of your teammates for Scott Boras’ telephone number.  Although, I doubt you really need to ask, as he is basically omnipresent.  Yes, he is in Anaheim and New York City at the same time.

On To The Next One: Zach Britton

I am a month late on reporting Zach Britton’s switch from Hendricks Sports to Boras Corp. What is most interesting is what the Baltimore Orioles 2010 Minor League Pitcher of the Year said about his former representation: “I was with Hendricks Sports and dealt with Matt Laird.  He was great but I never really had […]
