S1:E36 Adam Katz I Big Leaguer
As the World Series is upon us, Adam Katz, one of the top-tier Major League Baseball (MLB) agents, and host, Brad Johnson, sit down to talk baseball. Adam rose to prominence as an agent in the 80's and 90's representing four of the league's MVP award winners: Sammy Sosa (1998), Ken Caminiti (1996), Mo Vaughn (1995) and Willie McGee (1985). Adam joined Wasserman’s Team Sports group in 2006 and currently serves as Executive Vice President and Co-Managing Executive of Baseball.
In his almost 40 years representing over 200 players, he has finalized roughly 600 major league contracts, many of them market-setting, for players from over 15 countries. His experience across different markets is unmatched in the industry. Adam's clientele is a diverse roster of over 40 Major and Minor League baseball players, including Hanley Ramirez, Jeff Samardzija, Kenley Jansen, Kenta Maeda, Yulieski Gurriel, Billy Hamilton, Bartolo Colon, Jose Quintana, Yasmani Grandal, and Lourdes Gurriel, as well as representing Aaron Boone throughout his career as player, broadcaster, and manager of the New York Yankees. Adam is included in Forbes Sports Agents 2020 list with over $640 million in contracts and is consistently ranked as one of the top baseball agents.
Join Adam and Brad, long-time friends, as they discuss the business of being a sports agent in baseball, what it entails, the skill set that has worked for Adam, the value of mentorship in his career, and what it was like testifying to Congress about performance-enhancing drugs sitting shoulder-to-shoulder with Sammy Sosa. On a more personal note, we learn about Adam's background, values instilled in him, how he found his way into the industry, his connection to Bill Withers, and how LL Cool J allegedly once stole his date.
