SEATTLE - Saudi Arabia's push to bring elite athletes to the Middle East continues to strengthen its position in the world of sports as the Saudi Baseball and Softball Federation reached a deal with Baseball United about a month ago, a partnership that will see Saudi Arabia host its own professional league and tournaments.
With the ambition of being a another option to the United States' Major League Baseball, Saudi authorities haven't wasted any time and have been able to add a great number of high-profile players to support the cause. The latest individual to invest in the new Saudi Arabian league is reigning NL MVP Ronald Acuña Jr., who will now own a minority stake in the league.
