"We are thrilled to have the support of starting pitcher Joe Musgrove as our first MLB ambassador," said Rob Cinelli, General Manager at Sycuan Casino Resort.
"We knew he was the perfect fit for our brand because, much like Sycuan, Joe has very strong ties to the local San Diego community. Joe grew up playing baseball not too far from the Sycuan Reservation and is now back in his hometown making Padres history.
"We are honoured to have Joe as part of the Sycuan family and look forward to being able to offer our guests exclusive experiences through this new partnership."
Musgrove is a San Diego native and graduated from Grossmont High School in El Cajon. During his first year with the Padres, Musgrove set career highs in various categories.
For instance, 181.1 innings pitched, 203 strikeouts and 3.18 ERA. He also threw a no-hitter against the Texas Rangers at Globe Life Field, which was the first one in Padres history.
On his new partnership, Musgrove commented: "I am very excited for my new partnership with Sycuan Casino Resort. Not only has Sycuan been a longtime supporter of the San Diego Padres, but they truly embody Padres baseball at their resort with their exclusive Padres Club Sycuan Card and an official Padres Hotel Suite not offered anywhere else.
"Being from San Diego myself, it's really cool to be able to represent such a well-known local brand that is all about entertainment, fun and giving back to our community."
