Wasserman Media Group no longer employs Paul Kinzer, but there are still unresolved issues between the agent and the firm he used to work for, Liz Mullen of the Sports Business Journal reports. A battle over Kinzer’s roster of clients could be beginning, according to Mullen. There could be a future legal struggle over issues such as fees, though Kinzer’s client list remains unchanged as of now.
“All my players are still with me,” Kinzer told Mullen.
The agent represents players including Starlin Castro, Alex Rios, Geovany Soto, Aramis Ramirez and Rafael Furcal. Kinzer could open a new firm with his son, MLB agent Kelly Kinzer, or start another agency, Mullen writes.
Kinzer left WMG after the agency had to pay a $2MM settlement to Francisco Rodriguez. Kinzer had not filed the reliever's no-trade list before the 2011 season.
Do we have a real life Jerry MaGuire situation going? lol
