MLB Acquires Stake in Jomboy Media, Partners With Sports Media Firm for Digital Content
MLB inked a pact with Jimmy O'Brien's Jomboy Media, under which the league is acquiring a stake in his company and collaborating on digital content.
“We’ve always believed that deep storytelling and our unique approach to content and community can grow the game — and now we’re excited to do that alongside the league itself,” said Hirsch. Two of Jomboy Media’s investors and board members — producer and entrepreneur Jack Davis and Adam Friedman of Connect Ventures — played key roles in landing the MLB deal, the company said. Other investors include Patrick Schwarzenegger, Eli Roth, Cameron Fuller, WWE, Quinn Cook, Billy Crystal, Josh Hader, Gabrielle Union, Dwyane Wade, Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian, current and former MLB players Christian Yelich, CC Sabathia, Noah Syndergaard and Trea Turner, and NBA star Karl-Anthony Towns.
