Reds left-handed reliever Wandy Peralta has hired The MAS+ Agency to represent him, Jon Heyman of MLB Network tweets.
The 27-year-old Peralta debuted in 2016 with the Reds, who signed him as a free agent out of the Dominican Republic in 2010. The hard-throwing Peralta showed promise in 2017, his first extensive look in the majors, but he has fallen off since then. Peralta now owns a 4.89 ERA/4.64 FIP with 7.26 K/9, 4.5 BB/9 and a 50.5 percent groundball rate in 140 innings. He hasn’t been able to completely stifle same-handed batters, who have hit .254/.349/.386 against him since he debuted in the bigs.
While Peralta’s numbers aren’t anything to write home about, his agency switch is relevant because he’s on track to reach arbitration for the first time during the upcoming offseason. Peralta’s also on schedule to hit free agency after the 2022 campaign.

His old agency probably told him to move along not worth our time…..
Why do these articles never say the old agency?
They usually do. Not sure why they left it out this time. I only know this because I want to see if they left the Boras Corp. and it is usually mentioned.
Side note: Scott Boras had an interesting interview on PMT last week.
I’m guessing they may not have known his agency? That’s the only reason I can think of, since they usually do. My guess is if it was Boras they’d have listed it. Seeing Boras lose clients is the baseball fans’ version of catnip.
