He's a sports agent, whose sole responsibility is to find well-paid employment for his players. He does this better than anyone else, which is why he has such an impressive client list. Nobody forces general managers into those enormous contracts.
Boras takes only a 5% commission on negotiated contracts, the lowest in the business. He also bases contract demands on statistics, which makes him an innovator. So, why is he being labeled as ruining baseball when he simply does his job? Would you not want someone like this - a former minor league player himself, and hard bargainer - working for you if you were an athlete?
