Today, Scott Boras is perhaps best known as the man who negotiated Alex Rodriguez’s two record-smashing baseball contracts. However, to baseball enthusiasts, Boras had already long-established his presence as the most aggressive and successful sports agent of all time. As the head of California-based Scott Boras Corporation, Boras has created an entire concierge of services around the players he represents, including athletic trainers, sports psychologists, ties to the most profitable sneaker and equipment endorsements and more. In his book “License to Deal”, Jerry Crasnick writes that Boras has probably negotiated over $1 billion worth of contracts and endorsement deals for the baseball players in his stable.
Amazingly, Boras created his entire empire from little more than a law degree and the intuition that he could be a successful agent. Since becoming successful, he has turned down even more lucrative deals to represent Hollywood actors and stars from other sports to devote full attention to his baseball playing clients.
