The Sycuan Casino Resort has signed a one-year enforcement deal with Joe Musgrove of the San Diego Padres. Per the terms of this new agreement, the MLB pitcher will feature in an upcoming marketing campaign for the casino.
Moreover, Musgrove will make guest appearances at the casino, as well as feature on its social media platforms.
"We are thrilled to have the support of starting pitcher Joe Musgrove as our first MLB ambassador," said Rob Cinelli, General Manager at Sycuan Casino Resort.
"We knew he was the perfect fit for our brand because much like Sycuan, Joe has very strong ties to the local San Diego community. Joe grew up playing baseball not too far from the Sycuan Reservation and is now back in his hometown making Padres history. We are honored to have Joe as part of the Sycuan family and look forward to being able to offer our guests exclusive experiences through this new partnership."
Musgrove has had a successful career in Major League Baseball. A San Diego native, the pitcher impressed in his first season with the Padres, pitching 203 strikeouts with an ERA of 3.18.
"I am very excited for my new partnership with Sycuan Casino Resort," noted Musgrove. "Not only has Sycuan been a longtime supporter of the San Diego Padres, but they truly embody Padres baseball at their resort with their exclusive Padres Club Sycuan Card and an official Padres Hotel Suite not offered anywhere else.
“Being from San Diego myself, it's really cool to be able to represent such a well-known local brand that is all about entertainment, fun and giving back to our community."
As sports betting continues to boom in the US, waves of gaming companies are seeking athletes and teams to partner with. Only yesterday did Caesars Entertainment announce an exclusive partnership with the Chicago White Sox.
