ESPN had been asking to lower the fees it pays to MLB for the next portion of its current contract. The deal would remain in place for 2025.

ESPN’s Sunday Night Baseball, its wild-card round playoff broadcasts and the rest of the partnership remain in place through the 2025 season.

    This means we only have one more year of suffering! Hopefully this doesn’t end with more nationally televised games, spread across a gaggle of streaming apps. I just want to hate watch my Yankees with the regular YES crew in peace.

      I just want to watch my team without having to pay $100+ for channels I don’t want or need. Yes, I am aware of other ways but it would be nice to have the option.

        I’m in the same boat. YES is wrapped up in an extra special sports package too so it’s not just a cable bill, it’s their most expensive all-the-channels-included package. Total waste for me.
