MLB To Take Over Broadcasts For Twins, Guardians, Brewers In 2025

 

"MLB will now be handling the broadcasts of at least six clubs, as it was already distributing for the Padres, Diamondbacks and Rockies. Fans will be able to sign up for direct-to-consumer streaming packages without blackouts, except for games that are being broadcasted nationally. The Rangers also saw their Diamond deal expire in 2024 but seem to be in a different situation for now. MLB announced that Texas wouldn’t be continuing with Diamond but are exploring local options for 2025."

"There will be other long-term questions to be answered in time. Commissioner Rob Manfred intends to market a streaming package consisting of multiple teams at some point in the future, perhaps as soon as 2025. MLB.TV has existed for years but with consumers affected by local blackout rules. The idea going forward would be to essentially make a blackout-free version of MLB.TV. There would be complications in such a plan, as clubs like the Yankees, Dodgers, Cubs and others handle their own games via broadcasters that are at least partially owned by the team. Given their relatively stable footing, they would have less interest in joining such a plan with the other clubs."

It should also be noted the the Rangers have dropped their agreement with Diamond sports network, but nothing new as time time for their future.

I don't see why they would-- these takeovers are related to problems with Bally Sports, and the Orioles are one of the unnamed teams in the articles mention of "clubs like the Yankees, Dodgers, Cubs and others handle their own games via broadcasters that are at least partially owned by the team."

How ironic would it be if it was Rob Manfred who drove the final stake through the heart of the unholy marriage that is MASN?

Just give us an in market streaming option is that too much to ask? Cable television is dying regardless so stop forcing local fans to pay for some service they don't want because it's the only way to watch Orioles games.
