Criticism
Boras is widely regarded as a tough negotiator. He has secured lucrative contracts for his clients that exceed what some expected them to earn. This has led critics to dub Boras "baseball's most hated man" and "The Baseball Anti-Christ". His critics claim that Boras' big money contracts hurt the game, for example, by widening the gap between rich and poor teams, and may not always be beneficial for the players he represents.
Boras is sometimes credited with changing the dynamics of the amateur draft. He has been known to advise his clients to turn down a deal (and continue with either college-ball or semi-pro ball) if the signing bonus was below an amount acceptable to them. Some teams have avoided drafting Boras's clients in baseball's amateur draft for this reason, in particular the

officials for upstaging the World Series with the timing of this announcement. As a result of much of the negative publicity, Rodriguez wanted to renegotiate his contract with the Yankees and was allowed to do so by the team under the condition that Boras was not to be present.
Scott Boras' clients
Because of his reputation as a tough negotiator, Boras's name is not attached to his clients' marketing. He set up a separate company, Impact Marketing, to handle all of their endorsements, appearances and autograph signings. His client list is estimated to be over 70.
Although Alex Rodriguez did not formally sever ties with Boras, Rodriguez later negotiated a new contract with the New York Yankees—doing so without Boras—after originally opting out of the final three years of a 10-year, $252 million contract. Some news sources say Boras gave Rodriguez "bad advice" in encouraging him to opt out and that Boras had demanded a $350 million offer from the Yankees "just to talk" about Rodriguez staying with the team. Rodriguez instead chose to employ a managing director of Goldman Sachs to negotiate a deal with the Yankees. The Yankees had refused to speak with Rodriguez had Boras been involved. However the Yankees rift with Boras didn't extend beyond the A-Rod contract as they drafted a Boras client Gerritt Cole in the first round of the following first year player draft, and have signed several of Boras clients as free agents the following year.
