I always wonder how Boras convinces his guys to take that risk almost every time. Does the Boras corp have a war chest that they'll pay out if something happens before a guy reaches FA? The risk/reward equation makes sense for an agent with lots of horses in the stable, but it seems like it would makes little sense for the individual athletes. There's no way I'd turn down a guarantted 200-250 million for a chance to make 300-350 million but could lose it all with a bad injury or extended slump.
They have insurance policies to guard against injury. Too bad they don't have them for poor performance ( Chris Davis)
