[Almost] On To The Next One: Ivan Nova

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.

Boras Corp. And Legacy Sports Boast Strong 2010/11 Offseasons

Last week, MLBTradeRumors.com speculated as to which baseball agency had the biggest offseason, which Tim Dierkes defined as the period between October 1, 2010 – April 30, 2011.  Adrian Gonzalez signed a mega-contract worth $154 million, and over the past couple of weeks, he has been earning every penny of that deal (while destroying me […]

The 2010 MLB Draft Begins Tonight

While Bryce Harper is the clear #1 overall pick in terms of talent, he leaves a lot to be desired when it comes to character.  Getting a two-game suspension slapped on you after your second ejection of the season, right before the biggest day of your life (the MLB Draft), might cause you to slip […]

Orlando Hudson’s Collecting On His Contract

Initially, I was not accurate on the name of Orlando Hudson‘s agent, but I was right on giving his agent praise for the structuring of Hudson’s 2009 contract.  As a reminder, this was the deal that Hudson signed with the Dodgers in the offseason: $380,000 signing bonus, deferred without interest to a time not designated […]

As of yesterday, baseball executives and MLBPA agents had crawled up into the Ritz and glitz of Las Vegas, but this trip is not to enjoy the blackjack tables, luxurious pool decks, and clubs that stay open all hours of the night.  The agents and executives are in Vegas for one of the most important […]
