An arbitrator decides the dispute between Gary Sheffield and Scott Boras in the agent’s favor. Deadspin offers this excellent commentary:

The relationship between an agent and the player he represents is a sacred one. In fact, on the list of the most sacred relationships, it falls just behind that of “Husband/Third Trophy Wife”, and slightly ahead of “Notorious Child Pornographer/Young Criminal Defence Lawyer Desperate to Make a Name for Himself.” Which is why it is such a shame when that relationship goes sour. And when the two individuals involved are as balanced and selfless as Scott Boras and Gary Sheffield, it’s twice as shameful. But that is exactly what happened when the pair went to arbitration over a dispute involving (double-checks notes)…ah, yes…”money”.

Boras makes $550,000 on the deal.
