I personally do not know if that is considered a deal in good faith or not. I do not know how much input Martinez had in the Giants deal or if they gave the MLB Agents control to make a deal without him. I am sure we will find this out.<br /><br />Rainball, totally right about greed. The average wage a common worker in the Dominican Republic where his representatives are is between $5-10 a day. So, going after another few hundred thousand dollars which wouldn't necessarily hold up most MLB contracts would make such a difference to their life and family. Most of these guys probably do side deals with agents so the player will go where they say to go. MLB should stop this and only allow deals to be done where the agent is approved by the MLB or straight up with the player. Otherwise, these players are being expoited.Rogerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15112223964736652123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7389427040394111033.post-85867754512604563672015-10-15T09:23:29.227-07:002015-10-15T09:23:29.227-07:00I would think the Giants have the upper-hand if th...I would think the Giants have the upper-hand if they were dealing with his legal representative (agent).

He is represented in the United States by Beverly Hills Sports Council. It was Marrero and Nina who made the deal with the Cubs. It was BHSC that made the deal with the Giants."<br /><br />Personally, I think the Giants have a good case here. They made the deal with Rick Thurman who is the agent for Lincecum. I would think they have precedent over trainers.<br /><br /><br /><br />http://m.mlb.com/news/article/154494356/cubs-giants-both-lay-claim-to-eddy-martinezRogerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15112223964736652123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7389427040394111033.post-82213982460992267672015-10-14T19:13:23.923-07:002015-10-14T19:13:23.923-07:00So it appears there is more drama with Eddy Julio ...So it appears there is more drama with Eddy Julio Martinez. MLB is now getting involved. It appears that the Giants may have negotiated a contract with someone connected to EJM but not his main representation. The Giants argue they had a deal in place first. Hopefully MLB will respect that the Giants thought they were talking to the right people. Should be interesting.<br /><br />http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2015/10/eddy-julio-martinez-cubs-giants.html<br />Rogerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15112223964736652123noreply@blogger.com
