Report: Agent filmed players

A baseball agent is under investigation by the MLB Players Association and has been fired for allegedly filming clients in the shower with a hidden camera, according to FanRag Sports.

Jason Wood, formerly of Career Sports Entertainment, is being accused of secretly peeping on players while they used his shower, after one of his clients reportedly discovered a camera. The player, who wished to remain unnamed, confronted Wood and fired him, the report said. Multiple sources suggested to FanRag that other players were filmed.

Wood called the claims “absurd and untrue,” in a statement to FanRag’s Robert Murray.

“Over the past 13 years I have worked tirelessly to build a successful agency through integrity and hard work,” he said. “I am disappointed that there are those who have chosen to spread such irresponsible and harmful rumors.”

The Daily News has confirmed Wood has been suspended by the union, which certifies and regulates agents, until the investigation is complete.

While the MLBPA declined comment, CSE confirmed Wednesday that it had fired Wood as president of its baseball division.

“It’s unfortunate that CSE Talent aligned itself with someone who didn’t uphold these same standards and therefore we chose to terminate with cause Wood’s employment,” Danny Martoe, President of CSE Talent, said in the statement.

CSE Talent acquired Wood’s Arland Sports agency last year.

CSE’s website states that it represents about 100 majorleaguers, and Wood represented players like Kansas City third baseman Cody Asche, Boston outfielder Andrew Benintendi, Seattle reliever David Phelps, and Tampa pitchers Jake Odorizzi and Ryne Stanek.
