Miguel Andujar Hires Octagon

By Jeff Todd | February 27, 2019 at 2:05pm CDT

Yankees third baseman Miguel Andujar has hired Octagon to serve as his representation, per Robert Murray of The Athletic (via Twitter). You can find all updated agency relationships in MLBTR’s Agency Database.

Andujar, who’ll soon turn 24, turned in an exciting 2018 season in which he narrowly missed a Rookie of the Year nod. Despite 27 home runs and a .297/.328/.527 batting line over 606 plate appearances, Andujar placed second in the American League voting to the unique Shohei Ohtani.

With just over a year of MLB service on his ledger, Andujar won’t be eligible for arbitration until at least 2021 — with three more years to go from that point before potential free agency. Unless surprise extension talks come up, there won’t be much in the way of near-term contract negotiations. But he’ll surely ask his new reps to explore marketing opportunities befitting a young slugger who plays on the game’s biggest stage.

      Love it. It shows their prominence in the sports world.

      Do all you do is complain about a free service?

      I think Octagon is one of agents, likely to sign extension

        It’s good news for Yankee fans. Metsie fans on the other hand point their fingers in other directions until the agent gives wagon Wheel the finger. Then the Metsie fans have a finger up their —-.

      Despite the name, they do not report solely upon trade rumors. I mean, there are only so many trade rumors to go around. Whats next, you gonna complain when MLBTR reports on Harpers eventual signing? Him signing wont be a trade nor a rumor! Oh, the humanity!

      Syndergaarden Cop….they have been reporting agency changes for years. Are you just now noticing?
      They even have an “Agency Database”. Despite the name it’s not just rumors anymore and hasn’t been for years.

          Crumb snatchers? This site is an extremely strong compilation of major (and often minor) baseball news of all sorts. It’s not crazy to think that industry folks might use this site to verify information or to get timely news without following hundreds of writers on twitter.

        Thanks Jeff, I appreciate all that you guys do! Although people have a right to speak their mind, I don’t think it’s very cool to do it in someone else’s house when it’s a negative or just plain irrelevant. I wish I had radar that would switch on before I waste my time reading such comments.

        About Andujar….It’s always a smart move for a man to have representation in this game. His agency has a great track record of getting endorsement deals for players, and this kid is very marketable.

      Unless you count in Machado’s speed, superior defence at 3rd and superior power, you are 100% correct.

        He doesn’t have superior power and I’m not sure he is that much faster. But yes he is indeed a superior fielder.

          Mid 30’s hr vs high 20’s and double digit sb vs 2. So superior power and superior speed.

      goldenmisfit…. Agents do more than negotiate MLB contracts. They line up endorsements, many handle such things as travel for family, off-season travel/vacation plans for the player, handle the immense headache of filling taxes in every state that has a “jock tax”, etc.
      Google this….”MLBTR Why I Chose My Agency”. They did a whole series of interviews with players as to why they picked the agent they did…here are two, Jake Odorizzi and Jay Bruce. You can find the rest if you like.
