Sheffield Fired Boras

So essentially he is worried about 5% of his salary???  So if he were to get a $10 mil deal for next year he would lose $500,000 to an agent, and that is why he is firing the best agent in the game?  Pardon my French but what a f***ing idiot. :bang

I think it was Ray Allen that worked an agreement himself and hired an attorney to review and sign off on it. What the hell does Boras do for $500,000? Ask Bobby Hill, yet another year further from free agency. A-Rod was getting big money anyway Borass. I think I can go in and say Gary Sheffield is worth $12M a year what do you think?

There was no way that ARod gets $252 mil on his own. There were no offers higher than 8 years $160 million. Boras had them bidding against themselves! That is a difference of almost $90 million!

 

The NBA is a completely different monster. They have an individual salary cap. For someone who is going to make the max, there is no need for an agent. Baseball doesn't have such a structure. So your agent can make a big difference.

I always have said that Boras is the freaking man when it comes to being an agent. There is no way I'd want anyone other then him.
