Ronald Guzman Switches Agencies

By Mark Polishuk | June 15, 2019 at 7:18pm CDT

Rangers first baseman Ronald Guzman has changed agencies and is now being represented by the Boras Corporation, Evan Grant of the Dallas Morning News reports.  As Grant notes, Guzman becomes the latest in a notable line of Boras clients on the Texas roster, including Joey Gallo, Elvis Andrus, and Shin-Soo Choo.

Signed out of the Dominican Republic as a teenager in 2011, Guzman has spent his entire pro career in the Rangers organization, steadily developing until a strong 2017 season earned him a spot (94th) on Baseball Prospectus’ list of the game’s top 100 prospects prior to the 2018 campaign.  After making his big league debut last season, Guzman has shown hint of his left-handed power but below-average (87 wRC+, 88 OPS+) production and a 28.4% strikeout rate overall, hitting .230/.301/.423 with 22 homers over 574 plate appearances for Texas.  Earlier this season, Guzman spent just over a month on the injured list due to a hamstring injury.

Guzman is still just 24 and controllable through at least the 2023 season, and the Rangers could gain an extra year of control (and avoid Guzman gaining Super Two status) by optioning the first baseman back to Triple-A at some point.  He won’t gain arbitration eligibility until after the 2020 season and, at this point, doesn’t appear to be a realistic extension candidate for a Rangers team that is heavy on left-handed bats and first base/DH types.

Guzman’s change in representation can be viewed in MLBTR’s Agency Database. If you see any notable errors or omissions, please let us know via email: mlbtrdatabase@gmail.com.

    Even after Boras botches contract after contract (see e.g., Dallas Keuchel as the latest), these guys still jump ship for him. Gotta love the loyalty of these players. Smh.

      there’s things that go into representation 365 other than the over hyped (he’s so greedy, blah) “failures” of the most successful agency in the game.

    Guzman must not realize that for Boras to make sure you get paid, you have actually have to be good. Even then, recent events have shown that even that’s not a guarantee.

    Can never get over how these articles tend not to mention what agent the guy is leaving; why leave out this insanely basic and relevant information? Is it because the linked article didn’t mention it? If so, that’s not a great reason; that’s just a statement that you guys are straight cribbing the guy’s article, not even filling in this blank that your own database has the info for.. Just really frustrating.

      This was a major topic a few years ago, don’t remember how it ended though.

    I hate to be “that guy” but I consider myself a pretty big fan of the game and I have zero interest in who is representing which players

    Guzman has steadily developed into a good 1st baseman. Offense keeps improving and no doubt of his ability to assist in outs at 1st. He is a young player and I think will continue to be one of the best in the league. I really like the way he hits to all fields. Showing a lot of signs as having a Mitch Moreland type glove, digging throws out of the dirt..
