Starlin Castro, Vladimir Guerrero Jr. Hire Magnus Sports

By Jeff Todd | July 25, 2017 at 1:30pm CDT

Yankees second baseman Starlin Castro has changed agents, moving his representation to Barry Praver of Magnus Sports, according to ESPN.com’s Jerry Crasnick (via Twitter). Also making the switch is top Blue Jays prospect Vladimir Guerrero Jr.

In Castro’s case, he likely won’t be up for any contract negotiations for a few more years — unless the Yankees were to entertain thoughts of an extension. Though Castro is still just 27 and has been quite productive (.307/.344/.472) this year, that’d be a surprise. After all, his current deal takes him through 2019 and includes a club option for the following season.

As for Guerrero, who’s still just 18, his star is clearly on the rise as he mashes in the lower minors. He isn’t on the MLB radar yet, but has already gained top-twenty leaguewide prospect billing and could move quickly through the Toronto system.

It’s important to bear in mind that players change representation for many possible reasons. And even if contract talks aren’t a near-term concern, marketing deals are always a consideration.

If you’re interested in seeing more agent-player relationships, MLBTR maintains a sortable database of the latest representation information as an industry resource.

    This is huge for Castro. After Step Brothers commercial remake with Didi, the acting offers must be flying in.

    Truth be told…. Didi carried them.

      Do you sit on your hands all day waiting for Yankee articles to invade?

    If a player in year two of a five year deal switches agents, who gets the agent’s cut of his paycheck going forward, the new agent or the one who negotiated the deal?

      I think the agent that negotiated it but I’m not 100% sure

    Castro is at his peak. I’d be shocked if he ever got another deal like the cubs gave him.

      Add in the escalation of salaries and the fact he will only be 29 when this deal is up, I think it’s fair to suggest his next contract will come with at least the same price tag as this past one if he remains healthy.

        He’ll get maybe a two year deal worth maybe 15-20 mill.

      I agree and with as many young kids knocking on the door I’d be surprised if it’s with the Yankees they should move on

        Premature to assess. More likely situation is he’s traded. Contract is fair and if the Yankees and Marlins were to consider a trade for Stanton, couldn’t one see Castro and youngsters going to the fish? If not, there is no reason for the Yankees at this time to consider an extension.

          Not premature for anything. He’s at his peak. Plain and simple.

          Teams for up the arb years + one or so which is already the case here. I don’t know his contractual status but if not locked up, the Yankees would probably be more inclined to lock up Didi. Even with their minor league options. With injuries, there is no reason to today extend Castro now. He’s good and valuable but not a superstar. Don’t get me wrong, most teams would gladly want him the way he’s played in 2017. He has years to go however and it’s just not a pressing need.
