What does exclusive partner even mean? Every other prediction market will have MLB markets as well. This just means polymarket and MLB will have a data sharing agreement?

Under the new licensing deal, Polymarket will have exclusive access to the baseball league's data and iconography. Additionally, the prediction market and MLB "will work together to restrict markets that present an integrity risk — including individual pitches, manager decisions, and umpire performance," according to Polymarket.
