There is no answer for MLB broadcasting that pleases everyone, so deal with it.

Supposedly Judge’s counter offer to the Yankees was 9 or 10 years at $36M per year.

holy lol

Judge is good but he's nowhere near "a whole decade as the sport's best-paid position player" good

My grandfather was not a good person at all. The only fond memories I have of him are sitting outside in his screen house watching the Red Sox on WSBK 38 on a small b&w TV while he smoked camels, eating drinking Dunkin’ Donuts.

Didn’t we all agree that Trout’s deal was undervaluing him? I don’t think the AAV Judge was asking for is unreasonable. The years are a stretch for sure but it’s also a negotiation.

Would have ruled if he went in and demanded $250/5 though.

:agreed:
He's taking a risk with injury and owners loving him but we need more players who've already made tens of millions to keep pushing the envelope so that the pre-arb guys get bigger bags. "He's not worth that" is relative to what? The billions of dollars in franchise appreciation we've seen across the league? The TV contracts? Or when compared to the artificially suppressed salaries of other players?

I do wonder if it'd be legal to have the MLBPA create a downside guarantee pool for young stars. Hit certain performance thresholds by a given age/service time and the PA will guarantee a minimum level of career earnings. It'd mitigate a lot of the risk that drives prearb players to teamfriendly deals (the first $20m in earnings matter a lot more to the player than the last $50m they make in their careers, etc), and paying back some portion of earnings over the guarantee should make it selfsustaining. It'd also be way less abusive and towards a better cause than the loansharking of scum like "Big League Advance" (Tatis)

Didn't MLB.tv used to have a thing where you could log in with your cable creds and see games through the main interface?

I wish they would do that, I pay for cable and mlb.tv but I can't watch Mets and Yankees games at the same time on the same device, it's wildly stupid.

I tried it on my Apple TV and computer using Chrome. I even have a DNS thing to get around blackouts. The mlb app on my Apple TV just redirects me to the ATV+ app. On my computer, it just straight up has no video option and only has the radio broadcast.

I don’t know if they still have a TV provider login on the website or app. I’ll have to check that out.

Oh I'm not suggesting a fix, I don't think what you're asking for is currently possible, I'm just agreeing that it's very stupid.
