A baseball agent at Rimas Sports, a firm associated with Bad Bunny, has had his certification revoked by the Major League Baseball Players Association. The union has not disclosed the specific reason for stripping William Arroyo of his right to represent MLB players.
Rimas Sports released a statement asserting their commitment to upholding the highest standards of professionalism and integrity within the industry. They refrained from providing further details, citing an ongoing process within the context of MLBPA agent regulations.
Arroyo, the affected agent, has chosen not to comment at this time but indicated that he will address the situation soon. The decision to revoke his certification is subject to an appeal process before a member of the American Arbitration Association, as outlined in the union's agent regulations.
Notable clients of Rimas Sports include New York Mets catcher Francisco Alvarez, infielder Ronny Mauricio, New York Yankees infielder Oswald Peraza, Colorado shortstop Ezequiel Tovar, and Washington outfielder Eddie Rosario.
Bad Bunny, a globally renowned artist whose real name is Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, established Rimas Sports in April of 2023. The firm's reputation has been called into question following reports from ESPN, which cited anonymous sources alleging improper benefits provided to players.
