David Phelps Hires Jet Sports Management

By Jeff Todd | February 7, 2018 at 8:04am CDT

Mariners righty David Phelps has hired Jet Sports Management to represent him, according to Jerry Crasnick of ESPN.com (via Twitter).

Phelps was one of several MLB players that was left searching for a new agency after parting ways with Jason Wood and Career Sports Entertainment. Wood was fired by CSE and suspended by the MLBPA following allegations of misconduct against his own clients.

The 31-year-old Phelps has already avoided arbitration, agreeing to a $5.55MM deal with the M’s. But he’ll soon be in need of further negotiating assistance, as he’s slated to reach the open market at season’s end.

Phelps’s future earnings outlook is rather unclear at present. Notably, Phelps made only ten appearances in Seattle following a mid-season swap. His 2017 season ended with elbow surgery, perhaps removing any possibility that Phelps might return to the rotation, though the hope is that Phelps will be ready for a full 2018 campaign.

So long as Phelps can return to health, there’s good reason to think he’ll be one of the most sought-after set-up men on the market next winter. Since the start of the 2016 season, after all, he has thrown 142 1/3 innings of 2.72 ERA ball with 11.1 K/9 and 4.0 BB/9. It certainly doesn’t hurt that Phelps has a background as a starter, making him a potential multi-inning weapon.

As always, you can keep tabs on the latest agency movement with MLBTR’s Agency Database.

          Someone seems to neglect including subjects in their sentences.

      It affected your life more than most people on the planet. You clicked on the link, maybe glanced over the article, and commented on it (which is more than 99.9% (est)) of the global population.

      It affects baseball in the same way something like this would normally affect baseball.

      I hope this was somewhat helpful as you navigate thru life. Things can get complicated along the way.

      It takes a special kind of stupid to take time out of your day to comment and complain about how a baseball news site is posting baseball news. Why don’t you go complain that YouTube has too many videos?

      I thought they were small agency but they hold some premium clients like Corey Kluber, Wade Davis, Chris Sale.

    Hoping the Mariners look to extend him should his medicals check out. I’ve been a huge fan of his since he was traded to Miami and loved the acquisition for Seattle. It’s a shame he could only throw a few innings for us by the time the season concluded, but that turned out to be the theme of Seattle’s 2017; but could maybe have him listening to a longer term deal before free agency. Just remember, I don’t know anything and am purely announcing my opinion. I am probably wrong. Carry on.

      Phelps definitely helps the bullpen. Always had upside, maybe this year is for him.
