Acuña is not believed to be signing Rimas to be his agent, but rather to handle his marketing and off-field business.

star is expected to sign with Rimas Sports, according to sources briefed on the matter, who requested anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly. Rimas, the agency led by Bad Bunny, is facing significant discipline from the MLB Players Association, as The Athletic.

The MLBPA, which oversees agent regulations, does not police marketing and business companies the same way, meaning rules against paying players or giving them large gifts to recruit them do not apply. Acuña, who previously had his marketing and branding work done by the company Xample, has no listed agent at the MLBPA, according to sources. Acuña’s previous representation, who negotiated the extension, was Peter E. Greenberg and Associates.
