MLB continues it's 35-year relationship with ESPN & signs deals with NBC and Netflix for $600M per year through 2028

Netflix, Amazon, Apple, Google, and all these big bag having non-sports/linear tv outlets getting into sports is just pushing up the bids and thereby the prices for all sports

In some things, like streaming, they keep down the prices, but when you are bidding for shyt it has the opposite effect. But this is the coli, people would rather see the athletes than regular households eat.


One of my friends in the music industry told me that everyone in media is looking at sports with envy, the safest business in media.

And Portland.

Who do these regions watch now?

Nashville - Braves?
Utah - Rockies? I think the Angels minor league team plays here.
Portland - Mariners?

I think Nashville gets the Reds.

MLB is gonna move a historic franchise?

 

[Spidey Man]

I think Nashville gets the Reds.

The Reds were the first professional team and have been in Cincinnati since 1869. I don't think they are moving them. The league has plenty of teams they can move before they move the historical franchises.

He asked which MLB team is broadcast in Nashville. It's the Reds.

 

[Remote]

I'm probably on board with the realignment and adding 2 more franchises to MLB.

I don't like the idea of games being held behind a paywall, but it seems like that's the new reality today.
The NFL and MLB have restricted viewership to the NFL Network, Amazon Prime Video, and AppleTv over the last few years.
Also by putting games on cable tv.

I currently don't have Netflix and if a handful of Yankees games will be on Netflix, I'll just miss those games.

Safe to say the T-Mobile deal is over?

So much for Manfred saying espn is a shrinking platform.

Nooooooooooooo

It’s crazy how there’s enough money to pay these athletes and owners and networks, etc… these exorbitant amounts that they aren’t worth even a fraction of realistically, in terms of what purpose they serve…yet we have Skid Row, and other similar spots all over the country. Just a thought.
