Los Angeles, Calif. (November 15, 2021) - MLB Free Agent, Yasiel Puig, announced today that he has chosen to no longer be represented by Luba Sports.
“I appreciate Rachel’s efforts on my behalf over the past year,” said Puig. “She is a wonderful person, and an extremely talented and knowledgeable agent. I wish her nothing but the best.”
Puig will remain with his righthand adviser and the first female Cuban-American MLBPA Certified Agent, Lisette Carnet. Carnet worked with Puig prior to becoming his co-agent at Luba Sports, and has been instrumental in helping Puig recently achieve personal and professional milestones necessary for him to secure a successful bid to resume his MLB career.
“I have a vision for the remainder of my career and I want to take full control of my path as an athlete,” said Puig. “It’s important to me to align with advocates that understand my culture and my origins firsthand. These people are bridges that help me continue to assimilate and make the best decisions for my career and family.”
Puig is preparing for his return to MLB in 2022 after being named the 2021 Defensive Player of the Year in the Mexican Baseball League.
