The Wasserman agency announced Friday that it has purchased Jet Sports Management and hired Jet founder and president B.B. Abbott as an executive vice president. Today’s press release indicates that agents Andrew Lowenthal, Al Goetz, Hank Sargent, Alex Ott, Tyler Pastornicky and Blaise Salter are all joining the Wasserman staff immediately as well.
Wasserman already stood as one of the largest agencies in the business, and their acquisition of Jet furthers that position. Among the dozens of clients joining the Wasserman roster are the likes of Byron Buxton, Zack Wheeler, Matt Olson, Charlie Morton, Clay Holmes, Corey Kluber, Chris Sale, Logan Gilbert, Gavin Lux and Mike Minor.
The changes in representation will be reflected in MLBTR’s Agency Database, which contains information on the hundreds of big leaguers who’ve appeared in the Majors over the past several seasons. We do our best to keep those records up to date, but changes in representation happen regularly. If you see any inaccuracies or any clients unaccounted for, let us know: mlbtrdatabase@gmail.com.
Thanks for reminding us that baseball is a business and no longer a sport.
It’s always been a business. Just now the owners can’t run all over the players anymore.
Not to the extreme it is today. A .5 billion $ contract? We’re one toke over the line sweet Jesus.
No doubt the contracts are high but the owners aren’t paying more than they can afford. If the players are generating that much revenue they deserve their fair share.
What about the venders & janitorial crews & groundskeepers? And the folks paying for the tickets? Sooner or later this magic juggling act of finances may bottom out.
Then go watch some 3 stooges episodes, yell at kids for stepping on your lawn or talk to your wife Karen some more instead of reading/commenting/watching baseball.
Out of all the years I’ve been on this site, this is one of the most ignorant posts yet. The fact your tag is sheep8 makes me worry what goes on in your house, or in your barn.
Isn’t everything a business when adults get their hands on it?
What?? The players contracts will affect the outside contractors that provide those services?
Yeah, like nasty on internet??
When adults get their hands on it?
Doesn’t mean it’s right
“Like nasty on the internet?” ????
I like a lot of things on the internet, and you have no right asking what sort of nasty stuff I like to watch. Just type your own kinks into Google and that should be enough, you don’t need my help.
I have every right, including my family & this site , to know what extreme visions you are promoting.
Extreme it is today? Have you seen big business lately? Owners(most) pay what they’re willing to pay to maximize profits a few will go over to win a title. If they won’t pay then that’s that. Agents work for the player and should ask for the moon in hopes one owner OKs it. If none bite, them the game begins. I’m beginning to think Curly was the dumb stooge after all…
Lmao. What?! Okay. Sometimes I search milf stuff. But usually it’s just vanilla stuff I can watch with my GF. I mean we haven’t been together long enough to test the deeper waters ( you know what I mean).
Why does you family want to know?
“Well I Never!”
You are killing me dude.
There were still stage robberies decades after it became a business
“When you’re a Jet you’re a Jet all the way, from your first cigarette to your last dying day.”

Huh? That stinks… (can’t see the relevancy)
Tyler Pastornicky was a mediocre player. Wonder if he is better as an agent.
