CONTRACT NEGOTIATION

While the draft represents an important first step in a player's career, the greatest opportunity for sizeable financial gain comes at the Major League level. ESG takes great pride in its record of success as skilled and experienced contract negotiators - it is a major factor that sets us apart from our competitors and ranks us among the best in the industry.

​

Collectively, the principals of the agency have been able to secure more than $300 Million for its clients. Some of the most notable include:

 

  • All contracts for Los Angeles Dodgers' legend Ron Cey throughout his career, including his 1983-1987 contract with the Chicago Cubs that contained an unprecedented bonus provision based on home attendance

​

  • Barry Bonds' 1993-1998, $43.75 Million San Francisco Giants free-agency contract that, at the time, was the largest baseball contract ever obtained
