If this lets me watch Rangers and Mavs games in Tulsa, OK (currently impossible) then I support it.

I’m thinking they’ll be streamed on Prime and you won’t need cable on top of it.

Google made a metric gently caress-ton of money by charging $450 for NFL Sunday Ticket (more if you want RedZone) on top of the $80 a month or whatever they charge for YouTube TV; you're delusional if you think Amazon didn't see that revenue stream and think, "Yep, we'd love to get in on that action."

Goddamnit. Well at least I’m trapped in the separate hell of MASN, so Amazon getting Bally doesn’t affect me and my own situation isn’t improving any time soon.

Amazon is already trying to split off and monetize Prime Video by introducing ads and then charging for an ad free tier. This will almost certainly be something they charge for. I'm fine with that honestly. I was just hoping whatever solution we end up with means none of my money is going to Sinclair, but that might be too much to ask for in the near future.

Google lost/is losing money on Sunday Ticket. You can say that in the future it is possible they are not, but at this time that is not the case

e. ^ Yeah this too, some teams are happy retaining their rights because they just hand them off to their own broadcast they have a stake in. Cubs are doing that with Marquee where they offer an overpriced in-market streaming option for people without cable.Inspector_666 posted:Manfred wants the league to own all the streaming rights, the owners are all just idiot babies who can't get their poo poo together. Also a bunch of the owners are out of touch dinosaurs who don't want to hand over streaming rights to MLB because they think they can still land that big massive TV deal that's definitely just around the corner, and not a train that they've clean missed by like half a decade at this point at least.

FlamingLiberal posted:I’m not sure what they do about several teams having their own networks. That complicates any bigger plans for a total streaming service and probably means that MLB will continue to have fractured rights agreements Is this not just picking up the rights packages that already existed?

bawfuls posted:The landscape is a fractured mess of rights deals that last decades. Lots of teams sold their broadcast rights for 20+ years before the league came to this position. Even if all 30 owners were on the same page on this today, it would take them years to unwind the current mess and unify broadcast rights under the MLB banner. They lacked the foresight to see this coming years ago and prepare the groundwork then. Oh for sure, it's just that this is the one thing I actually will give Manfred credit for actually being right about.

A 34-yo set up man. He could be a closer, and he was the go-to fireman whenever someone got in trouble. He's an outstanding arm, but reliever arms are the most fungible thing in the big leagues.

The important distinction for relievers is between "good" and "consistent" "good" relievers are fungible, scrap heap guys turn in a good season all the time, but they aren't consistently good and figuring out which ones will be good in any given season is a serious challenge that even the best roster wizards screw up from time to time. What's rare and not fungible is a relief pitcher who's consistently good from year to year.
