Jay-Z seems to have the magic touch. I was surprised to see Cano leave Boras but I would imagine that Jay-Z is a personal friend and that his deal was more enticing. Help me , help you! Jay-Z may not be an expert when it comes to baseball players but he probably has a lot of experience in negotiations. He has probably hired people for this agency who are experts in sports negotiations. Robinson Cano is a big name and this will help Jay-Z's agency to bring others under his umbrella. After all, sports and entertainment are linked together. Jay-Z is also a minority owner in the Brooklyn Nets basketball team. I understand he would have to divest himself of this if he would want to recrute NBA players to switch to his agency. It's about time Scott Boras got some competition. He is probably not happy that Cano left him in this year when his contract is to be re-negotiated. Boras is smart guy. I would expect him to go on the offensive so he doesn't lose his valuable properties. I wouldn't feel sorry for either one of them. Boras is a multi-millionare with many other stars under his brand. So is Jay-Z and he always has Beyonce to fall back on. Not bad for either one of them.
