Jeff Samardzija Switches To Wasserman Media Group

White Sox right-hander Jeff Samardzija has new representation just six weeks or so before he’ll hit the open market for the first time time in his career, reports Liz Mullen of Sports Business Journal (via Twitter). Samardzija is now represented by agent Adam Katz of the Wasserman Media Group.

The 30-year-old Samardzija entered the year poised to be one of the top free agent arms on the open market after posting a stellar 2.99 ERA with 8.3 K/9, 1.8 BB/9 and a 50.2 percent ground-ball rate across 219 2/3 innings between the Cubs and A’s in 2014.
