Jeffress blames ex-agent for ruining his chances of playing in 2021
Jeremy Jeffress is not pleased he's still a free agent.
The pitcher took to social media Wednesday to explain why he thinks he's still unemployed after the Washington Nationals released him on March 7 for unspecified "personnel reasons." He pinned the blame on his former representation.
The fact that my ex agent has ruin my chances on playing this season is killing me. I want to sign with anyone but going home would be a blessing. You wanna kno the real me. Talk to me not bums!!

The 33-year-old reliever's comments came 10 days after he posted a cryptic tweet about his former agent, Joshua Kusnick, who hasn't represented Jeffress since 2019.
@JoshuaKusnick jus ruined my life. I’ve been nothing but a great friend and client to him. For over 10 years. Thanks buddy.
