The Major League Baseball Players Association (MLBPA) and Bad Bunny's Rimas Sports have reached an agreement to dismiss their ongoing legal dispute, according to documents filed with US District Judge Jennifer H. Rearden in Manhattan.

The conflict began when the MLBPA accused Rimas Sports of violating union rules by providing improper inducements to players, including cash and concert tickets. The violations resulted in several penalties:

• A $400,000 fine for Rimas Sports
• Revocation of William Arroyo's agent certification
• Denial of certifications for executives Noah Assad and Jonathan Miranda over a $200,000 "interest-free loan" and $19,500 gift

In October, arbitrator Ruth M. Moscovitch upheld five-year suspensions for Assad and Miranda while reducing Arroyo's suspension to three years. The case escalated when the MLBPA sought to hold Rimas Sports in contempt for attempting to initiate arbitration in Puerto Rico instead of New York, where the union is based.

The terms of the final settlement between the parties remain confidential, but the agreement effectively ends all pending legal actions between the MLBPA and Rimas Sports.
