Padres right-hander Anderson Espinoza has changed the institutions and is now a patron of the Beverly Hills Sports Council, Jon Heyman of MLB Network tweets. Agent Cesar Suarez will be presented by Espinoza.

Once among the finest potentials in baseball, Espinoza has fallen on hard times in recent years because of serious injury hurts. He’s a two-time Tommy John surgery patient who more recently underwent the procedure last April. The 22 -year-old’s health woes have prevented him from pitching competitively since 2016, the same season the Red Sox traded him to the Padres for lefty Drew Pomeranz. Espinoza hasn’t even boosted beyond the Single-A level, where he owns a 4.59 ERA with 8.4 K/ 9 and 3.0 BB/ 9 in 111 2/3 innings.

Despite the catastrophe Espinoza has faced over the past few years, FanGraphs’ Eric Longenhagen ranked him as the Padres’ 17 th-best prospect just last week, writing that he still has ” front-end stuff .” However, in light of Espinoza’s” below-average restraint” and the time he has missed, there’s a chance that he’ll only be converted into a reliever or a back-end starter( if anything) in the majors.

Espinoza’s change in representation has been noted in MLBTR’s Agency Database. If you check any illustrious mistakes or excisions within the database, please let us know via e-mail: mlbtrdatabase @gmail. com.
