MLB super agent Matt Sosnick, whose roster of stars includes Mets slugger Pete Alonso, was busted in California after a domestic violence incident in which his wife claims he choked her and threw her across a room in front of their young daughter.
Sosnick, 50, was arrested Oct. 8 by the Danville Police Department in Northern California on charges of domestic violence and misdemeanor child endangerment, TMZ reported. Court documents obtained by the outlet showed that his wife, Erica Sosnick, said her husband “grabbed my neck and squeezed” and told her, “I will destroy you.”
She claims he threw her across the room, where she crashed into a table, while their 9-year-old daughter watched. Erica Sosnick had bruises, swelling on her arm and red marks in the shape of handprints around her throat, according to the court papers.
“Daddy is yelling at mom. Mom is hurt,” the child allegedly told her former nanny in a phone call after witnessing the abuse, according to the report.
Sosnick’s SCK Sports agency also reps All-Stars like 2018 AL Cy Young winner Blake Snell, former Met Jay Bruce, the Mariners’ Mitch Haniger and Dodgers’ Will Smith.
Erica Sosnick, filed for divorce from her husband of 11 years following the incident and obtained a temporary restraining order against the agent, but an attorney for Erica Sosnick told TMZ she plans to drop the restraining order on Monday “in the best interest of her family.”
Court documents also said that Sosnick texted his wife the next day saying he was going to kill himself … telling her, “I’ve already decided …Saying goodbye to kids” and “My death is on you.”
He was arrested a second time on Oct. 9 for violating the restraining order.
