MLB agent Scott Boras has a special skill in scoring the biggest payday possible for his top clients, and it's been on display one again throughout the first month of free agency.

It all started when All-Star third baseman and slugger Mike Moustakas signed a four-year, $64 million deal with the Cincinnati Reds. Then came Stephen Strasburg's mega seven-year, $245 million contract with the World Series champion Washington Nationals.

In the early hours of Wednesday morning, All-Star pitcher Gerrit Cole landed a whopping seven-year, $324 million deal from the New York Yankees. It marked the richest contract ever for a pitcher, and it was thanks in large part to Boras' genius negotiations.

And to cap it off, All-Star Anthony Rendon - who finished third in 2019 NL MVP voting - signed a seven-year, $245 million deal with the Los Angeles Angels. That was the exact same deal signed by Strasburg, Rendon's former teammate.

As pointed out by Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic, four of Boras' marquee clients have combined to sign $878 million up to this point, and some of his top free agents have yet to sign.

Thanks to Boras' work, this year's MLB free agent period has moved along quickly. Last year, fans, pundits and MLB players were rightfully frustrated about the slow-moving market. Top free agents like Bryce Harper, Manny Machado, Dallas Keuchel and Craig Kimbrel didn't sign until the new year. The latter two didn't sign until June - two months after the regular season started.

Though the top-tier free agents have already found new homes, there are still plenty of big-named players available. This includes Keuchel, Hyun-Jin Ryu, Nicholas Castellanos ( whom Rosenthal detailed above), Josh Donaldson and Madison Bumgarner, among many others.

As if the $878 million signed by Boras' big four thus far isn't big enough, just wait and see how much more money he'll make for his remaining free agents. Teams will likely get desperate to the point where they may overpay to sign the best available free agents.
