119 MLB players filed for salary arbitration. The deadline for players and teams to exchange salary figures leading up to a possible hearing has officially past. The 3 teams known for implementing a file-and-trial strategy (exchange salary figures and we are going to a hearing, no matter what), have all avoided a potential arbitration hearing. […]
Matt Sosnick is a good friend of this blog. He was a subject of an Interview with the Agent in April of 2007, and in March 2009, he answered your questions regarding draft expectations, how to make contacts with people in the sports agent business, and recruiting tactics. Wedged in between, in 2008, Sosnick spoke […]
It is usually not until later in the year that the discussion surrounding baseball’s inequity bubbles in the minds of writers. We all know about the huge disparity between the payroll of the New York Yankees and the Florida Marlins, yet the Marlins were able to fight off Goliath in the 2003 World Series. That […]

The Florida Marlins would only offer a 3-year deal worth $23 million. The gap seemed tremendous; something that would probably lead to […]
Last Friday, I had the pleasure of serving as a guest of Jared Schwartz on my hometown’s main sports radio channel, 560 WQAM. It was a great conversation where we talked about the future of the Miami Heat (whether Wade, LeBron, and Bosh was a possibility), Josh Johnson’s future with the Florida Marlins, and the […]
It was not that long ago that the Washington Nationals traded away Kyle Gunderson to the Florida Marlins for Logan Kensing. The trade was understandable for both sides. The Marlins had given Kensing a chance on their active roster and were not pleased with the results. The Nationals needed help with its Major League bullpen […]
Dynasty client, Kyle Gunderson, has been traded from the Washington Nationals to the Florida Marlins in exchange for big leaguer, Logan Kensing. Kensing was the Marlins 2nd round pick in the 2002 draft. Gunderson has been assigned to High A Jupiter, where he will hopefully pick up where he left off with the Nationals. Thus […]
