Appearing on CNBC's Squawk Alley, MLB super-agent Scott Boras said baseball's attendance was proof the Moneyball model 'didn't work.'
Sports agent Scott Boras told CNBC the MLB's attendance proves the Moneyball model "didn't work."
Boras also finalized World Series MVP player Stephen Strasburg's 7-year deal valued at $245 million with the Washington Nationals. "The fanbase in baseball has spoken about the models baseball is using, and that is these predicted models where they felt that the successes of teams were going to be measured by something other than I think the fans perception in the ballpark about who great players are," Boras said.
The total value of deals he negotiated at the Winter Meetings: roughly $878 million. And with other top-name players like pitchers Dallas Keuchel and Hyun-jin Ryu remaining on the free-agent market, Boras should surpass $1 billion in contracts negotiated this offseason.
