Today, Matthew is the sole agent of over 50 professional baseball players — having negotiated their contracts at the Major, Minor, and International levels.
Named to Sports Business Journal’s “New Voices: Under 30” list as well as tapped to Crain’s New York Business “20 in their 20s,” Matthew most notably secured a 5-year guaranteed $9.25 Million contract extension for his client, and once Undrafted Free-Agent, Randy Dobnak of the Minnesota Twins – which has the potential for 8-years $29.75 Million and can max out at $54.05 Million with incentives and escalators.
Matthew’s work ethic, knowledge of the MLB/MLBPA Basic Agreement, business network within baseball and the sports industry, academic background and playing experience are vital elements that cohesively work together — each supporting his ability to connect with players and help them achieve their personal and professional goals.
