A Note from David M. Sloane:

I've learned a lot of important things since I began negotiating baseball contracts in 1974. It's all about relationships... first and foremost with my clients and their families, but also with the teams they play for, the media, equipment companies, etc.

I give my clients my all. When they call, they get me - not an assistant or junior agent. I treat all of my clients with the same care and respect I'd expect from someone representing my son, and nothing less.

I negotiate Baseball, endorsement & appearance contracts. That's my area of expertise. I believe that it's in a players best interest to be directly involved in running his own affairs. When it comes to investments, taxes, budgeting & bookkeeping, I can provide referrals to experts in those areas. 

Handing those responsibilities to your agent is a mistake.  Just because someone does a good job as an agent doesn't mean that the in-house people in his firm are the best you can find for your financial services.  Those are best left to experts in that field.

Money is important, but I firmly believe that it's not only how much money an agent gets for a client, it's how he gets it.  If the manner in which your agent handles your negotiations alienates the team you play for, the fans who buy tickets, and the media that covers your games, it's not worth the extra money. I have chosen as my motto, "All of the skills, none of the hype" because nobody ever bought a ticket to see an Agent.

Obviously, I can't expect you to take my word for any of this- just yet. Please check out the rest of my site, where you'll find objective comments from prominent figures in the game, such as this one from Sportswriter Richard Griffin of the Toronto Star, who wrote "In the wake of Bonds' and Boone's surrender and A's free agent Jason Giambi's seven-year contract for Delgado-type money with the Yankees, David Sloane, who had wisely included a clause which allowed Delgado's contract to be reopened last winter, could easily be voted agent of the year".

If you're looking for someone to represent your interests in Baseball, please send me an email or give me a call to talk about how I can help you.  My number is 954-328-7690.

I look forward to helping you achieve all of your major league dreams.

Sincerely,

David M. Sloane
