In their quest for world domination, at least when it comes to sports gear, Fanatics has enlisted a new name: Jake Arrieta. According to the official press release (full text below), the merch company “will be the sole distributor of authentic Jake Arrieta memorabilia.”
I can’t claim to be a big collector of signed merchandise and whatnot, but I do know that Fanatics has done an excellent job as the primary online retail partner for several professional leagues. Their selection is always top notch and they generally have great deals going, too. If it sounds like I’m running a bit of a commercial, it’s because I am.
