Greg Genske

Greg Genske is a player agent and lead of LS Legacy Sports Group, formerly SMD, with clients including Adam Dunn and Yonder Alonso.

He was one of the persons being investigated around the signing of Hector Olivera by the Los Angeles Dodgers in 2015, although the probe's prime target was Olivera's first agent, Rudy Santin. Olivera accused Santin of having forced him under duress to accept his services as his agent, and to have charged him as extortionate fee for his services; in return, Santin accused Genske of bribing Olivera to switch representation just as he was about to sign a lucrative contract, denying Santin any compensation for all the work he had done to bring the former Cuban star to this point.
