MLB’s Ronald Acuna Jr. teams up with Kalshi

Kalshi has recruited Ronald Acuña Jr. to become the first Major League Baseball player to partner with a prediction market. A new commercial, created with agency Es Muy Good, features the Atlanta Braves star chilling in an unusual home—right under home plate. The deal arrives less than two months after Kalshi announced partnerships with five MLB teams. The Braves, Boston Red Sox, Los Angeles Dodgers, San Diego Padres and San Francisco Giants all signed on. The New York Mets and New York Yankees were the first MLB clubs to strike deals with trading platforms, partnering with Novig and Polymarket, respectively.
