Eric Lauer Hires CAA Sports

By Steve Adams | May 6, 2020 at 4:55pm CDT

Brewers lefty Eric Lauer has hired CAA Sports to represent him moving forward, per MLB Network’s Jon Heyman (Twitter link). He’d previously been with Meister Sports Management (Lauer’s initial agency, Pro Star Management, merged with Meister Sports back in November).

Lauer, 25 next month, was acquired by the Brewers alongside shortstop/second baseman Luis Urias in the November trade that sent outfielder Trent Grisham and right-hander Zach Davies to the Padres. He’d been competing with Freddy Peralta and Corbin Burnes for the final spot in the Milwaukee rotation during Spring Training. Brandon Woodruff, Adrian Houser, Josh Lindblom and Brett Anderson were slated to occupy the first four spots of a starting staff that is light on proven names but has its share of upside.

A first-round pick of the Padres back in 2016 (No. 25 overall), Lauer made his MLB debut as a 22-year-old in 2018 and has since racked up 261 2/3 innings at the big league level. In all, he’s pitched to a 4.40 ERA with 8.2 K/9, 3.3 BB/9, 1.20 HR/9 and a 38.9 percent ground-ball rate with the Friars. He’s just 12 days shy of two years of Major League service time, which proved the difference between him being controlled through the 2023 season (had he accrued those 12 days) and the 2024 season (as he is now). He’s on track for arbitration eligibility as a Super Two player next winter.

Lauer’s change in representation has been updated in MLBTR’s Agency Database, which contains representation info on a few thousand players. If you see any omissions or players in need of an update, please let us know via email: mlbtrdatabase@gmail.com.

        Right on. Last week my Spotify daily mix played Method Man/Mary J Bliege “you’re all I need” …. transported me back. Great feeling.

    Was wishing Cleveland would find a way to bring the Kent State product home and get a lefty into the rotation for the 1st time in ages.

    The Brewers’ rotation won’t make any top 10 lists, but like the article says it has plenty of upside. I think Lauer will be a good piece on the staff for Milwaukee. I think if all goes right, Burnes will grab that fifth spot and Lauer will be be a solid fireman/rotation depth just like Brent Suter (but not as interesting of a human, of course).
