A-Rod Adds Another Agent

Oseary isn't going to make much off Arod, unless he can still play at age 42...lol

I would suspect that a sports icon like A Rod would still require the services of an agent to help with all of his off the field marketing and media deals. Given this, it makes sense that A Rod would sign with an agent with experience in media, and I would think that Oseary would have plenty of opportunities to get his cut.

A-Rod will be a 10&5 guy in one more year, and the Yankees aren't going to trade him in 2008, so he doesn't really need a no-trade clause.

Monetarily this shouldn't affect Boras because the contract with the Yankees was already signed so I bet he got his chunk out of it...now reputation wise, it doesn't really look good for Boras. I don't think his clients will desert him but I think he doesn't look as in control of his players as he did before this whole debacle.

This is actually good for A-Rod. First, it makes him look as if he's in control of his career (instead of a Boras puppet) and this new agent should be good to maximize his endorsement money.

hmmmm...I wonder how many of the Anti-Christ's (read borrazz) clients were or should have been on "the list" from "the report"?

And since the collusion issue around the Drewish Princess' contract, perhaps many owners are just saying no to the tactics. And it was so obvious that "the anti-christ" had the Princess' opt out in order to setup this year for Arod's opt'ing out.

Love reading this...of course likely Arod realized he no longer needs a sports agent to mange his baseball dealings...time for the other part of the picture. Poor Arod and his $600M+ from baseball simply is insufficent money to live off...for the next 10 generations...

Boras got paid on the A-
Rod contract. And he should have. He was a-rod's agent.

This guy has done more for players than anyone can imagine. Look at the comments. - hope teixera drops him so the braves get a discount. Is that in the best interest of the player? don't think so.

he serves a purpose. does anyone remember when the owners ruled the game. havea a great year and take a 20% pay cut or sit out. the owners are responsible for the boras's of the world.

what exactly is A-Rods other ventures, if he is going to pull a hulk hogan and try to go into movies, i might cry

I hope Prince Fielder drops him... Prince seems like the type that would love to play in one city for the rest of his career but you know Boras would never allow him to do that with out gutting that team for all its worth.

I feel bad for Prince.. his first agent stole his Signing bonus when he signed with the Brewers(big Daddy Dearest Cecil).

Now Boras will steal his Soul...lol

So... he just hired a publicist?

Borras is a good agent, but I think the ball was dropped on both sides in this story. Sure, the agent could have handled the opt-out a little better than he did during the series... but hindsight is 20-20.

I think A-Rod also made a huge mistake to go back to the Yankees so quickly. The fans have been booing his arse for the last three years, and if he was going to take a discount he should have done it for a city that would appreciate him a lot more than New York ever will. I mean I would have at least offered the Mets a chance to match that offer, cause I think they would have.

Going back to the Yanks before Boras could even field other offers was a massive mistake as well. Zito cashed in and made a fortune because he and Boras were patient to enough to wait for the right offer to come to them and that would have happened for A-Rod if he just stuck to his guns. The fact is, A-Rod paniced and should have trusted his agent a little more...
