(Nasdaq: DKNG) today announced the latest addition to their media portfolio, popular baseball personality and content creator Jared Carrabis. Known for his insightful, in-depth baseball commentary and die-hard love for the Boston Red Sox, Carrabis will join DraftKings in creating weekly baseball-focused podcasts and a wide array of engaging content based on podcast topics for all baseball fans to enjoy.
