Braves RF Ronald Acuna Jr. is expected to sign with Rimas Sports, an agency led by artist Bad Bunny. According to sources cited by Brittany Ghiroli of THE ATHLETIC, this agency is facing significant discipline from the MLBPA due to the revocation of agent William Arroyo’s license and the pending certification of two other employees. This leaves Rimas with only one certified agent, Michael Velazquez, raising concerns about their long-term viability in baseball.
When questioned about signing with Rimas, Acuna Jr. stated that he had not done so yet but indicated it was likely to happen soon. Sources believe that Acuna is not signing with Rimas to be his agent but rather to handle his marketing and off-field business. The exact reason for Rimas’ MLBPA discipline remains unknown. Acuna, who had his marketing and branding work done by Xample, currently has no listed agent at the MLBPA. Previously, Acuna was represented by Peter E. Greenberg and Associates which was acquired by Rep 1 Baseball in February 2020.
