I truly do understand that many sportsfans consider watching an mlb game tv broadcast only slightly more interesting than watching a homeless man pick through a dumpster.

That said- i just read, espn has bought the mlb streaming service. For 2026. The price has increased from $119 for the season to $139. If that isnt abstand alone turnoff. Consider this. It is not a stand alone service. I stead its an add on to the espn unlimited service. That comes with the hefty price tag of $299 per year.

Meaning, to watch mlb.tv. a baseball fan has to pony up $438 + taxes.... And- the blackout rules still apply.

Pure craziness at a time where mlb viewership is declining in every demographic except 2. 60+ yrs old male. And 18-24 white male with a gambling app on his device.
