Last February, Manny Ramirez hired Boras to be his agent. Why would he do that? Let me begin to answer that it was to figure a way to get Manny out of his 2009-2010 contract so he could hit the free agent market.
Let’s face it. If Boston picks up the $20 mil contract for ‘09 [...]

Many people would make some mighty big sacrifices to be involved in Major League baseball, National Football League or the National Basketball League. Some are there and dont see it. Their head got too big. They fed off the fame and glory. One such slide to shame is Tim Donaghy, former NBA referee.
