Fernando Tatis Jr. is one of the MLB players who brings the most flavor to the game, being a true showman who knows that beyond his talent as an outfielder and hitter, he can offer a little more to the fans, understanding that they are going to have fun at baseball.
This is highlighted by the announcement that he is putting himself in the hands of the agency Rimas Sports, of which Puerto Rican singer Bad Bunny is a co-owner, and which also has Ronald Acuna of the Atlanta Braves, Francisco Alvarez of the New York Mets and Ezequiel Tovar of the Colorado Rockies as clients
The agency Rimas Sports, whose leaders have been suspended by the players’ union, according to AP, announced the agreement to manage the marketing, brand relations and other services of Fernando Tatis Jr., to focus on “expanding his portfolio as a sportsman, businessman and philanthropist”.
Tatis is one of the stars who remains with the San Diego Padres after signing a 14-year, $340 million contract in 2021 under the supervision of his former agency MVP Sports and Dan Lozano.

Rimas Sports, a partnership between Bad Bunny and executives Noah Assad and Jonathan Miranda started in 2023, is in an ongoing conflict with the Major League Baseball Players Association (MLBPA) over financial misconduct
The MLBPA revoked the agent certification of William Arroyo of Rimas in April 2024 and denied certification to Assad and Miranda, and issued a $400,000 fine for misconduct.
U.S. District Judge Jennifer H. Rearden in Manhattan gave Assad, Miranda and Arroyo until February 19 to file a response to the union’s motion to confirm the decision, but they have not filed any response.
