Klutch Sports Group, the agency founded by Rich Paul which represents the likes of LeBron James and Jalen Hurts, will now look after household names in baseball, too.
As reported by ESPN, Klutch has acquired Rep 1, whose roster is said to include roughly 40 MLB players. Among them are Red Sox star Rafael Devers, Brewers pitcher Devin Williams and Guardians player Andres Gimenez.
Paul - the partner of pop star Adele - founded Klutch more than a decade ago. He is now considered one of the most powerful agents in sports.
Earlier this year, the agency expanded its client base to include NFL talent through its acquisition of ELITE Athlete Management.
The move saw Klutch add 40 players to its roster, including Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Hurts and his teammate DeVonta Smith, and Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr.
