NY Times: Boras Not Looking Out Only for the Superstars (RR)

But Boras’s business thrives, with the usual array of All-Stars and first-round picks, and a platoon of players whose contracts do not create headlines. Newhan, who was let go by the Mets last month, hired Boras a few years ago.

“I was a little tentative at first because they have such big-name guys that I figured I’d get lost in the shuffle, but that hasn’t been the case at all,” Newhan said. “I’m sure he talks with Alex more than he talks to me, but I’m all right with that.”

But with roughly 130 clients in the majors and minors, Boras needs to use staff members for much of his communication with players. Newhan usually deals with Mike Fiore, a member of the 1988 Olympic baseball team who, like Boras, played in the minors.

Boras was once Fiore’s agent, and Boras’s staff of roughly 40 reads like a checklist from a pack of baseball cards in the 1980s or early 1990s: Bob Brower, Don Carman, Bill Caudill, Scott Chiamparino, Mike Fischlin, Jim McNamara, Jeff Musselman and [Kurt] Stillwell all work for Boras. Some active clients aspire to join the list.

“Scott and I have had discussions about coming to work for the corporation,” said Alex Ochoa, a former Mets outfielder who now plays in Japan. “I’ll be helping him out in the Florida area.”

“He’s hired so many of us that were not superstars and wanted to stay in the game,” Stillwell said. “That’s special to me, and I appreciate that.”
