In 2010, Alex Rodriguez fired Scott Boras.

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 […]
A few days ago, it was first reported that Nick Swisher left long time Cincinnati, Ohio based agent, Joe Bick of Pro Star Management, Inc for Scott Boras. Part of that was correct. Swisher did leave Bick, but actually left him for Dan Lozano. Lozano has not slept much lately; the only thing on his […]
Amazing that I arrive in New Orleans when the city happens to be the coldest it has been this entire Winter. Oh well. At least The Big Easy has been a great time thus far, and I have really enjoyed serving as a arbitrator at the Tulane Law Baseball Arbitration Competition. Many thanks to everybody […]
