Aroldis Chapman Fires Edwin Mejia

In Reality, there’s no official statement yet from Chapman that remonstrates the rationality why he shifted agency. Notwithstanding, Athletes Premier International sounded disquieted in its official statement. It voiced out the the agency is "greatly surprised and deeply disappointed that Aroldis Chapman has decided to change agents." Further on, they laid bare that their agency "has put forth a lot of time and effort towards helping him achieve his goal of becoming a major league pitcher and he gave us no indication that he was unhappy with our advice or the way he was treated. We will have more to say about this matter at a later date, but in the meantime we wish Aroldis luck in his future endeavors." Rodney Fernandez, a Miami-based agent born in Cuba who functions for the Hendricks brothers, stated ESPN The Magazine in a phone interview that Chapman converged him several days ago. He supposed how Chapman got his number. "Its not like I’m famous or something. We followed every legal step. Maybe it’s because I’m Cuban is why he contacted me. I didn’t do anything specifically but just answered his call. He simply asked me for help and we are providing it." Likewise, the timing of Chapman’s conclusion is curious thinking he and Mejia were connected as recently as this week. To Begin With, Chapman’s basic decision to be acted by Mejia caught many by storm because Mejia was a greenhorn who had never previously represented a major league player. But the connection was a junior college player from Cuba, whom Mejia informed and who had been a childhood friend of Chapman’s. We’re that Mejia is not driving things lightly because of this event. When Aroldis Chapman fires Edwin Mejia, it has bad blow on his fledgling baseball career.
