On Thursday, amidst the MVP hoopla and Tampa stadium drama, there was one simple Tweet that may have escaped your attention:
Seattle Mariners Gold Glove catcher Cal Raleigh has switched his representation to Excel Sports Management, per sources.

For those of you who don’t have an encyclopedic memory of the Mariners’ various agents, Cal Raleigh was previously associated with Scott Boras; their connection dated all the way back to Raleigh’s time at FSU.
Of course, players switch agents all the time. Sometimes, it’s to make a splash, a la Robinson Canó going from Boras to Jay-Z.
