Bad Bunny\'s sports representation firm has been held in contempt by a federal judge, who ordered it to withdraw from a new arbitration proceeding it filed against the Major League Baseball Players Association.
U.S. District Judge Camille L. Velez-Rive also ordered Rimas Sports to pay the union\'s legal fees and costs for the association\'s work to force the company to comply with the Aug. 15 order.
\"Rimas Sports\' contempt is evident, and the court concludes remedial sanctions are appropriate,\" Velez-Rive wrote in a six-page order.
The union issued a notice of discipline to Rimas agents William Arroyo, Noah Assad and Jonathan Miranda on April 10 and fined them $400,000 for misconduct. Arroyo was an agent certified by the union to represent players and represented New York Mets catcher Francisco Alvarez and teammate Ronny Mauricio. Arroyo was decertified and the other two told they could not apply for certification.
