Scott Boras admitted to FOX Sports’ Ken Rosenthal in April that he was blindsided by Robinson Cano’s decision to abruptly leave the Boras Corporation for a new sports agency started by rap mogul Jay-Z. So it’s probably safe to say that Boras is not going to like this:
[Jay-Z], who recently began work as a sports agent with his Roc Nation Sports, took a shot at Boras in a song off his upcoming new album.
“Scott Boras, you over baby. Robinson Cano, you coming with me,” Jay-Z raps on the song “Crown,” ESPN.com’s Darren Rovell has confirmed.
That’s from ESPN New York. “Magna Carta Holy Grail” — Jay-Z’s 13th solo LP — hits shelves and iPods and blank CDs on Thursday.
Scott Boras issued a response via CBS Sports’ Scott Miller. Sadly, it was not in the form of a dis song:
Scott Boras on Jay-Z’s dig: “Baseball has given us everything we have, so we give baseball everything we have, all of the time”

More Boras: “We watch, observe and listen to the game. We help the players who play it with a singular purpose, and that is baseball.”
