The agency founded by recording artist Bad Bunny, Rimas Sports, has accused the Major League Baseball Players Association of \"placing a death penalty\" on the agency through \"a discriminatory, biased, and pre-determined investigation\" into Rimas\' business practices, according to a federal lawsuit the company filed Thursday.
On April 10, the MLBPA decertified Rimas agent William Arroyo and prevented Rimas executives Noah Assad and Jonathan Miranda from seeking certification after accusing the agency of providing improper benefits to players.
Additionally, Rimas\' other MLBPA-certified agent, Michael Velasquez, was threatened with decertification and quit the company.
Rimas Sports, which was started in 2021 by Assad, Miranda and Benito Martínez Ocasio -- the international recording superstar known as Bad Bunny -- aimed to cater to players from Latin America.
