I saw somewhere that this deal amounts to about 23m per team per year. That's a pretty good deal for MLB especially considering the mediocre coverage of the sport provided by EvilSPN.
Can we get back to talking about the NFL now?

5.6 billion for all 30 teams and rumored 4 billion regional deal for the Dodgers
hmmmm1. The more I learn, the more convinced I am that many players are over-rated due to inflated stats from offensive home parks (and eras)

Let's hope MLB doesn't extend their Fox contract.Using a stolen chant from Boston Celtics fans whenever an L.A. team is playing up there just reeks of inferiority complex.
If hitting a baseball is the toughest thing to do in sports, then pitching must be the easiest thing to do in sports.Comment

In all seriousness the Sunday night games need to be on ABC. They are in desperate need of major sports coverage, and I think ABC having some share of MLB rights (which would also include alternating rights to each LCS, the All-Star Game, and the World Series) could also keep the NBA on the network past 2016. The NBA has not been pleased with ABC losing so much sports coverage to ESPN or other networks, and they are reportedly flirting with Fox to become the new OTA home of the NBA.The playoffs should expand eventually, but only if MLB itself expands.

And technically, there is no more ABC Sports (IIRC). ESPN produces whatever is seen on ABC stations (I know this is the case for college football, you always hear them say "ESPN on ABC" or something like that.Originally posted by jnakamura View PostComment

Fox & TBS are both on the verge of new extensions as well. With ESPN putting out $700M annually in this new deal, Fox will be adding $500M and TBS will put $300M into the fray. That's a nice round number of $1.5B annually which is roughly 111% more than the $711M MLB receives under the current deals.
With MLB’s national media rights revenues part of the league’s central funds that are distributed evenly to all 30 clubs, each one will see $50 million annually, or an additional $26.28 million each year over the $23.72 million they currently see. These numbers are estimates until the new contracts are actually signed."Chuckie doesn't take on 2-0. Chuckie's hackin'." - Chuck Carr two days prior to being released by the Milwaukee BrewersComment
