    I wish they would as well but the cable deals are so insanely lucrative. The TEAM collects like 5-7 dollars per cable subscriber PER MONTH. It’s basically a tax on the city. Just picking a random number but like say 80% of subscribers don’t watch a baseball game any given month. They’re still paying 5-7 bucks for the privilege.

    It’s a system that could ONLY exist under cable monopolies. There’s no way they’ll ever have such a sweet deal if people have to willingly go out of their way to pay for streaming.

      I understand the logistics of it, I just wish they would let me pay my RSN directly to get access to streaming. I am not going to spend the insane cable prices for on flippin channel, but I would gladly pay the $5-$10/month for streaming access. They are losing so many chances to make new fans.
