Who has more to lose from a lost season of baseball than Scott Boras? No one, that’s who. MLB’s super-agent had six of his clients sign big contracts this past offseason, totaling over $1 billion in contract sums.
Those six Boras agents were set to make a total of $139 million in 2020, and that doesn’t include all of the other contracts he has in MLB. A typical sports agent makes anywhere from four to ten percent off of a player’s contract, so in the worst-case scenario, Boras loses almost $14 million this year alone. If he only makes four percent, he would lose $5.
