Who is Rachel Luba, the former UCLA gymnast who negotiated Trevor Bauer’s deal?

One minute after Trevor Bauer released a YouTube video announcing his decision to sign with the Dodgers, a woman with fiery red hair chimed in.

“So excited for your next chapter with the @Dodgers, Trevor Bauer,” the tweet read.

This wasn’t just a fan or friend extending congratulations to the Dodgers’ newest addition.

This was the player agent who made it happen.

Bauer’s agent Rachel Luba helped seal the Cy Young winner’s reported three-year, $102 million deal that will make him the highest-paid player in league history in 2021 ($40 million) and 2022 ($45 million).
