What is infuriating to me is that, once again, MLB is handing out exclusive windows like butterscotch at Grandma's house. If you lived in Chicago and wanted to watch all 162 Cubs regular season games and the first two rounds of the playoffs, you'd have to have access to (pay for): * Marquee Sports Network * ESPN * Apple TV+ * Fox * Roku * TBS
Now we're going to ditch Roku, but add Netflix and Peacock?!? Why does Rob Manfred (who screwed the pooch with the ESPN and Roku deals earlier this year) hate his own sport? This is why I've never understood the hatred towards the NFL with their multiple partners: since their first deal with ESPN in 1987, they've always ensured if you live in the local market, you always get *all* your games OTA, regardless of who's carrying them. Where's the Tylenol?
