Rimas Sports — an agency partnership between Bad Bunny and executives Noah Assad and Jonathan Miranda — signed Atlanta Braves outfielder Ronald Acuña Jr. to exclusive representation deal, company says Advertising sign.
“We are thrilled to welcome the Acuña family to Rimas Sports,” said Miranda, CEO of Rimas Sports. “Ronald is a once-in-a-generation player and we are confident that together we will take his outstanding career to new heights. Acuña aligns with Rimas Sports' founding principle of empowering the next generation of Latin American players, helping them build lasting legacies for themselves, their families and their communities.”
The famous Venezuelan athlete started his career with The Atlanta Braves organization in 2014 and made his MLB debut in 2018 when he won the title of Rookie of the Year.
In 2023, the 26-year-old four-time All-Star was named the 2023 National League Most Valuable Player in his sixth season in the league, marking the eighth time a Braves player has captured the honor since Freddie Freeman (2020). Chipper Jones (1999), Terry Pendleton (1991), Dale Murphy (1982, 1983), Hank Aaron (1957), Robert Elliott (1947) and Johnny Evers (1914). A press statement at the time noted that Acuña “was a unanimous choice, receiving 30 of 30 first-place votes from the Baseball Writers Association of America. He finished with 420 points, 150 more than runner-up Mookie Betts.”
To celebrate his new MVP title, award-winning Mexican-American producer Samuel Ash dropped “La Bestia,” a soulful dembow song performed by Dominican artist Niko Eme.
“We wanted something that felt universal and we wanted to do something that we could sing to,” Ash previously said Advertising sign. “I know dembow is kind of Dominican, but I felt like it could still feel global and resonate with him as a Venezuelan.”
