The world of professional sports is very vast. Apart from the on-field battles, a lot goes on the off-field spectrum filled with brilliant brains. One such name is Scott Boras, the founder of Boras Corporation, who is also the agent of Cody Bellinger. Yes, the same name behind multiple-million-dollar deals, the latest being Juan Soto. However, decades before, Boras never imagined himself in this place.

Notably, the former MLB outfielder has a wealth of experience as an agent. But he never wanted to pursue this profession and had a different future in his eyes altogether. But an incident changed it all. Now, it has put Boras negotiating again with teams, including his former, the Chicago Cubs. What was the incident behind the reversal of plans?

Scott Boras: The Ace Agent Behind Hundreds of Successful Baseball Deals

Scott Boras is one of the most dominant figures in the professional sports circuit. The reason is the success with over 170 clients with a way of finalizing the deal is magical. That’s why he is named ‘The $190 million biggie’, all thanks to his delivery of big deals for his clients. However, becoming an agent was not in the plan for him.

The former Pacific University graduate played as an outfielder and an infielder for the St. Louis Cardinals and the Chicago Cubs. After retiring, he wanted to build a career in law that synced with pharmacy. However, that all changed. His former teammate Mike Fischlin asked for assistance in a deal, which started his journey as an agent.

Now, decades later, after finalizing Juan Soto’s move to the New York Yankees, he is working upfront to get the best contract for Cody Bellinger. However, the task is facing some difficulties, and the reason is the unwillingness of teams to pay the desired cost, starting from the Chicago Cubs. According to marqueesportsnetwork.com, Scott Boras addressed the same. He said, “I think Chicago got the comforts of a full ‘Belli.’ So, they’re gonna have to loosen their belts to keep Bellinger.” But that seems to be not happening, however, Boras is sure that any team can chip in for the player.

How Boras Is Planning Bellinger’s Free Agency

Scott Boras knows how to handle the deals. Soto’s signing with the Yankees on his terms after all the push is a prime example. Notably, Boras got a year deal on his terms for the 25-year-old, making him eligible to raise his demands depending on the 2024 season. The “Super Agent” is looking for the same approach for Bellinger.

Boras said, “I think Bellinger’s a fit with most teams because he’s a Gold Glove type first baseman, centerfielder, can play four positions, hit in the middle of a lineup, provide power. I wouldn’t know any team that wouldn’t want that.”

With this, he hinted again that teams have to pay right to the player. According to the latest report, that question could come up in front of the Chicago Cubs as they chase Bellinger along with the Toronto Blue Jays.
