Listen now
Description
In 2019, Forbes ranked Scott Boras No. 2 on its list of the most powerful agent in sports — the first time he hadn’t held the top spot in six years. Forbes contributor Jason Belzer wrote: “No sports agent in history has negotiated bigger deals than Boras, who manages an astounding $2.38 billion in active [baseball] contracts, the highest total ever for a single agent.” When Scott Boras speaks, people listen. He joins Richard and Donnovan for an in-depth discussion about how the coronavirus has impacted the business of baseball, from the free-agent market to the minor leagues to the draft, and what the Boras Corporation is doing to help its clients with mental health during the pandemic. COVID-19 Resources: (1) Is Our Fight Against Coronavirus Worse Than the Disease? (2) Life after lockdowns (3) I clung to the middle class as I aged. The pandemic pulled me under.
