According to a report by FanRagSports, CSE agent Jason Wood, has been fired by the agency for allegedly filming his clients while they used the shower in his home. Wood represented, among others, Boston Red Sox outfielder Andrew Benintendi.

Recently, a player who chose not be identified, was using a shower at Wood’s home and found a camera, sources say. The player confronted Wood, then followed by firing him immediately, sources say.

FanRagSports references three sources that confirmed the firing, and also reports that multiple CSE clients have left the agency and are looking for new representation.

In 2006, Wood founded Arland Sports, which represented 50 players, including eight first-round draft picks over the last eight years. Last April, CSE acquired the company, making Wood president of the new baseball division.

Update 7:15 PM: In a statement to Yahoo's Jeff Passan, Wood denied the allegations, calling them "absurd and untrue."
