Jeff Jarrett Announced As Part Of New Ownership Group For Minor League Baseball Team

WWE and IMPACT Wrestling Hall of Famer Jeff Jarrett has officially joined the ownership group of Minor League Baseball team The Springfield Sliders.

As first reported by Wrestling Inc. and later announced during a recent press conference, Jarrett will join the team’s ownership group in an effort to help bring more entertainment to the games. The Sliders currently play only 30-32 games a season in Springfield, Illinois, leaving their facilities empty for nearly the entire year.

According to the team, Jarrett will present a variety of live entertainment when the team is not playing, including circuses, live music, and professional wrestling. Not much else was shared about the partnership just yet, but Jarrett did note that he was happy to join the team.

The Sliders are a member of the Summer Baseball Development League, which is a prospect league based out of the United States.
