Dynamic Baseball Player NFT Fantasy League | New Sorare & MLB Partnership 2022
Over the last few years, sports teams around the world have been taking their fan engagement digital with everything from fan tokens and online clubs to NFTs and trading cards. Now MLB has announced plans for an entire fantasy baseball league with the help of Sorare, a company known for its soccer fantasy leagues, as explained in this new report from Chiliz News.
Though many details have yet to be announced, their NFT playing cards are likely to be a part of the new fantasy league. While most fantasy leagues follow a \"Draft\" model, MLB may go in a different direction, by having you create teams using the NFT trading cards.
Chiliz News explains that this could open MLB up to more fans worldwide, as their new partner, Sorare, has 1.7 million registered users throughout more than 180 countries. This will be Sorare’s first non-soccer partnership, though it has agreements with soccer leagues ranging from Major League Soccer (MLS) in the US, LaLiga in Spain, Bundesliga in Germany, and a wide range of individual clubs.
MLB commissioner Robert Manfred Jr. said, “The connections we build with our fans are vital and Sorare understands the importance of that bond.\" \"The company’s focus on transforming fandom through an innovative combination of sports, technology and gaming to let fans truly own a piece of the game they love is unique and goes beyond borders – allowing us to bring the love of baseball to more fans across the globe.”
Sorare has been recently valued at $4.3 billion, with backing from major sources around the world including former Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand, and FIFA World Cup winners Gerard Piqué and Antoine Griezmann.
