MLB Players’ Union & Bad Bunny’s Rimas Sports Settle Lawsuit Over Agent Violations
Bad Bunny's Rimas Sports and MLBPA settle lawsuit over agent violations, ending a dispute involving improper gifts for the sports agency.
The union accused Rimas of offering improper gifts to prospective clients, including free VIP tickets to Bad Bunny concerts, suite access to a Phoenix Suns game, and a $200,000 interest-free loan. Last June, Rimas Sports escalated the dispute by filing a lawsuit against the MLBPA, alleging that the penalties stemmed from a “pre-determined investigation” designed to protect established agents from competition. The agency claimed the union’s actions were discriminatory, accusing it of targeting Rimas for being a Puerto Rican-led company disrupting the traditional order of MLB player representation.
