Rich Paul’s Klutch Sports is branching out into baseball.
According to Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic, Klutch Sports has acquired the Tidal Sports Group to serve baseball players. The acquisition means Paul now has branches in the NFL and MLB as well as the NBA.

Paul represents LeBron James, and is one of the NBA’s most powerful and prominent agents. While his tactics have sometimes been controversial, there’s no doubt that he’s a huge behind-the-scenes figure in NBA business. He clearly wants to grow his influence in other sports, and this is the first step toward making that happen in baseball.
