Major League Baseball is drawing up possible plans to take over broadcasting Padres games this season. This comes as news that the parent company of Bally Sports is reportedly to bankruptcy. RyanHillNews has more.

“Geez, since I was in the first grade, I’d imagine. So, 30 plus, 40 plus years,” Thomas Gardner, a longtime Padres fan, said.

That’s because Diamond Sports Group, the parent company of Bally Sports, which broadcasts the Padres games and other teams, reportedly could be heading into bankruptcy.“If Diamond doesn’t pay under every single one of the broadcast agreements, that creates a termination right. And our clubs will proceed to terminate those contracts, Commissioner Rob Manfred, Major League Baseball, said.

“We would also be seeking flexibility on the digital side. So that, when you look at MLB.TV, you’d go in and buy your out-of-market package like you’d always have. But you would have the option to buy up into in-market games,” Manfred said.There are some who would want to stick with the traditional way of watching games if this contract situation were to happen.

PatrickDailey RyanHillNews Thank you god

RyanHillNews Maybe if BallySportsSD and their parent company bothered to negotiate with YouTubeTV and Hulu… they were so insufferably self righteous about how they “walked away” from these platforms. I feel bad for the employees - the executives deserve to have their salaries clawed back.

RyanHillNews So we’ll have to subscribe to the MLB channel?!
