Boras is also the agent of Kim Ha-sung (29), who became a free agent after the end of this season, and this is not the first time that he has been fired by his client.

ESPN, a U.S. sports channel, reported on the 22nd (Korea time) that "Seattle catcher Carl Raleigh, who won the 2024 Gold Glove, settled his relationship with Boras, his agent, and chose Excel Sports as his new agent."
Originally from North Carolina, Raleigh made his Major League debut in 2021 with his current team, Seattle. Playing in a total of 47 games in his first year in the big league, he had a batting average of 0.180 with two homers and 13 RBIs, which was not good. His OPS, which combined on-base plus slugging percentage, was only 0.532.
However, he played in a total of 119 games in 2022, his second year in the Major League, and became a completely different player with a batting average of 0.211 and 27 homers and 63 RBIs and an OPS of 0.774. He also played in a total of 153 games this year, displaying outstanding performance with a batting average of 0.220 and 34 homers and 100 RBIs. As he also won the Gold Glove Award, he has grown into a top catcher in both offense and defense.
Raleigh has turned himself into a catcher representing the league, but his relationship with Boras is reportedly not good. The two sides have recently come to an end.
Earlier this month, Boras was also notified of his dismissal by San Diego bullpen pitcher Adrian Morehorn (25). The San Diego area's Union-Turibune reported on the 9th that "San Diego left-handed bullpen pitcher Morehorn has appointed MVP Sports as his new agent." His former agent was Boras.
It is not known why Morehorn fired Boras and appointed a new agent. However, it seems that Morehorn, who is set to "adjust his salary" after the end of this season, has replaced the agent to sign a better contract.
According to the U.S. online media "Trade Rumors," Morehorn, who received 850,000 U.S. dollars in annual salary this year, is expected to receive about 1.8 million dollars next year. He will become a free agent at the end of the 2026 season.
Before Morehorn, he was fired by Philadelphia outfielder Nick Casteyanos (32) in October. He is not an FA who has to find a new contract this winter. He is not facing a salary adjustment like Morehorn. Therefore, it is known that his separation from Boras could have been due to personal feelings or problems such as services provided by Boras.
Arizona starter Jordan Montgomery (32) also fired his agent Boras earlier this year. Unlike his players, Montgomery made headlines by revealing the reasons for his dismissal through the media. In an interview with the Boston Herald that he met during an away game against Boston in late August, he shot Boras with determination.
At the time, Montgomery said, "I had a chance to play for Boston. I can tell you with confidence, but we had a video call meeting with Boston last winter. And the meeting went well. However, as a result, Boras made a mess of everything. On the other hand, there was not much I could do. I had no choice but to forget about the past and move on."
Montgomery was considered the "biggest fish" along with Blake Snell (32) in the FA market last winter. However, he signed a contract with Arizona for 25 million dollars only two days before the opening game in late March.
In the end, Montgomery fired her agent, Boras, in mid-April after failing to get the jackpot contract she wanted and preparing for the season properly, everything went awry. In the agent industry, it is rare for as many as four customers to be fired in a year.
"Boras' reputation has been hurt by the contract results shown in the FA market last winter," the media said. "But this year, he is expected to rebound because he has several major blue chip customers representing the league, including Juan Soto (26).
