Ronald Acuña Jr. to Partner with Bad Bunny's Rimas Sports Amid MLBPA Scrutiny
  • 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.
