Praver Shapiro is widely recognized as a leading Sports Management Agency specialized in representing Hispanic baseball talent, and providing a comprehensive array of services designed to address the unique needs of the professional athlete both on and off the field. The venture will be jointly overseen by <strong>MAGNUS</strong> Media CEO Michel Vega and Praver Shapiro’s Barry Praver and Scott Shapiro.<br /><strong>Marc Anthony</strong> said, “Baseball, like music, is an ingrained cultural passion for many Latinos throughout the world, and there’s no shortage of amazing stars of Hispanic origin. Despite that, until now there hasn’t been an <strong>enterprise</strong> specifically designed to meet their needs. With <strong>MAGNUS</strong> Sports, we are changing the existing dynamics and building a new kind of Management Company that understands the culture and knows how to build big media brands.<br />“Beyond the cultural connection, social media is also bringing fans closer to their heroes than ever before. That means that athletes, like other entertainers, need management that can help them with both managing their careeR&Building their brand”.<br />“We are honored to have the opportunity to begin this venture with a prominent talent like Aroldis.”<br />Chapman added, “I couldn’t be happier to have the <strong>MAGNUS</strong> Sports team supporting me as I enter the next important phase of my career. We are going to continue to work hard both on and off the field to push boundaries and achieve new levels of success.”<br />Other operating units of <strong>MAGNUS</strong> include an artist management company, music publishing, digital content creation, film & television, a music label and an entertainment-centric marketing practice focused on leveraging the power of top Latino content creators in the U.S. and worldwide.</p><div class='code-block code-block-8' style='margin: 8px auto; text-align: center; display: block; clear: both;'> <img src=
