Weeks before his first career appearance on the free agent market, Shane Victorino has left his former agency, Liz Mullen of the Sports Business Journal reports (on Twitter). Seth and Sam Levinson of ACES had represented Victorino, who is now looking for an agent, according to ESPN.com's Jerry Crasnick (on Twitter).
Victorino, 31, will hit free agency after the World Series. He has a .253/.320/.377 batting line with 27 doubles and 11 home runs in 654 plate appearances for the Phillies and Dodgers this year. It doesn't appear that the Dodgers have room for him in their 2013 outfield, assuming Carl Crawford is healthy next spring.
Check out MLBTR's Agency Database for information on player representatives from around the game. MLB is investigating ACES, the agency which represents Melky Cabrera, according to USA Today.
Shane Victorino NOT coming up ACES!
…sorry…
Smart move, the Melky thing will probably only hurt the agency. I’m sure he can find another agent to do just as good a job.
Scott Boras, Shane Victorino is on line one.
Shaney!….
Shane and Hunter leaving Philly, SAD, The person that should have left is Ruben Amaro JR.
