Jeff Borris (born March 29, 1962) is an American sports agent and attorney.
Borris began his career as a sports agent as an intern at Beverly Hills Sports Council while at Southwestern Law School, which later became a full-time position.[1] His fresh approach to baseball management soon meant that the intern became the owner along with two partners, Dan Horwits and childhood friend Rick Thurman.[2]
Some of Borris' notable clients include Barry Bonds, Jose Canseco,[3] Rickey Henderson, Bret Saberhagen, Bobby Bonilla,[4] Brady Anderson,[5] Curt Schilling, Trevor Hoffman, Michael Young, Tim Lincecum, Hunter Pence, Darren O'Day, Rick Van den Hurk, Mark Reynolds,[6] Michael Schwimer,[7] and Dan Uggla.[8]
Borris also represented Dinesh Patel and Rinku Singh after the two Indian-born pitchers won an Indian reality television show called Million Dollar Arm Challenge and tried out in front of 30 major league scouts in November 2008.[9] The two pitchers were later signed by the Pittsburgh Pirates and became the first Indian-born players to sign a professional sports contract of any kind in America.[10]
In 2015, Borris joined Ballengee Group.[11]
