Matt McLain switches agencies after Reds' disappointing season

Cincinnati Reds infielder Matt McLain has changed his representation from VaynerSports to Black Mako Corp. This decision comes after a challenging period in his career, including a significant shoulder injury that sidelined him for all of 2024 and hindered his performance in 2025 and 2026. McLain posted a career-low.185 average in the 2026 season, contributing 15 home runs and 40 RBIs in 134 games. As he approaches salary arbitration eligibility, the agency switch indicates he is contemplating his future, while also facing increased competition from teammate Juan Brito for the second base position.
