Acuna Jr. May Ditch Agent After Rimas Sports’ Disciplinary Action

According to sources, Ronald Acuna Jr. of the Atlanta Braves is likely to sign with Rimas Sports as his marketing and off-field business representative. The agency, founded by musician Bad Bunny, is facing disciplinary actions from the MLBPA after their agent William Arroyo had his license revoked and two other employees were pending certification. This leaves the agency with only one certified agent, Michael Velazquez, raising concerns about their long-term viability in baseball.

When asked about his representation, Acuna said he had not signed with Rimas yet but indicated that it was likely to happen. It is believed 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’ disciplinary action from the MLBPA is unknown.

Acuna previously worked with Xample for his marketing and branding but they are not listed as his agent at the MLBPA. His previous representation was Peter E. Greenberg and Associates who negotiated his contract extension in February 2020 before being acquired by Rep 1 Baseball.
