Major League Baseball announced that it will take over production and distribution of local games for the Cleveland Guardians, Milwaukee Brewers, and Minnesota Twins, highlighting a shift away from the bankrupt Diamond Sports Group.
The Guardians, Brewers, and Twins will join the Rockies, Diamondbacks, and Padres under MLB's local-media division, eliminating blackouts and increasing reach significantly for both the Guardians and Twins.
MLB's projections suggest that teams not having a direct-to-consumer streaming option will see substantial increases in their audience reach, with Guardians and Twins expected to see boosts of 235% and 307%, respectively.
As Diamond Sports Group continues its Chapter 11 reorganization, other teams remain in negotiation limbo, while MLb continues to step in, reshaping local sports broadcasting.
