Ronald Acuña Jr. to Partner with Bad Bunny's Rimas Sports Amid MLBPA Scrutiny
April 18, 2024
Ronald Acuña Jr., Atlanta Braves outfielder and National League MVP, is poised to sign with Rimas Sports for his marketing and off-field activities.
Rimas Sports, a company co-founded by artist Bad Bunny, is currently facing disciplinary action from the MLB Players Association for offering improper benefits to recruits.
An agent from Rimas Sports had their MLBPA license revoked, although marketing and business deals face less stringent regulations than player representation.
Acuña's on-field income is secure through 2029, thanks to an eight-year, $100 million contract extension signed with the Braves in 2019.
Despite potential implications of the agency's troubles, Acuña's high-performance level suggests a lucrative market for him when he becomes eligible for free agency.
