Jay-Z's Roc Nation has had a tremendous amount of success in representing some of the premier athletes in sports, and just this past summer was able to get Dez Bryant a huge deal which had Cowboys owner Jerry Jonessinging the company's praises.

With Jay-Z being able to accomplish so much in the sports agent business in a relatively short amount of time, other entertainers will undoubtedly look to follow in his footsteps -- and Marc Anthony is doing exactly that, according to a report from Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports.

Magnus Media, a company founded by Marc Anthony, announced on Monday the inception of Magnus Sports, a division dedicated to representing major athletes.

Chapman is one of the best closers in baseball, a four-time all-star who finished last season with an ERA of 1.63 in 65 appearances. He'll be a free agent in line for a huge payday in 2016, so it's safe to say Anthony's new endeavor is off to a pretty nice start.
