The short answer

What the archive says

01MLB's Charlotte's Web deal is the first mainstream league sponsorship for a hemp/CBD brand, and the products carry NSF Certified for Sport status so they won't trigger athlete drug tests. source →

02CBD marketers still can't run ads on major platforms, so a league-level sponsorship is a signal the category is being legitimized. source →

In their words

What was actually said
