For the first time in three decades,ESPNwill no longer have the rights to Sunday Night Baseball this season. That's right.
No more Jon Miller and Joe Morgan! Well, to be fair, they've been gone for a decade now, but still, you get the point. It was a staple in households across America for 30 years. It's now gone forever.
Last year, NBC acquired the rights to SNB in a landmark deal that will shake up how – and where – we watch Major League Baseball this season.
Good luck trying to figure that out, by the way. Regular season games will be spread out just about everywhere throughout the season. ESPN will still air some mid-week games. FOX, of course, has plenty. NBC and Peacock are now a major player. TBS has Tuesday games. Apple still has Friday night games. Netflix even has Opening Night!
Get all that? Like I said,goooooooood luck!
Anyway, the big move here will be Sunday Night Baseballmoving from ESPN to NBC this springand summer. That's one part of the equation. The other part? What ESPN will replace it with.
It seems we finally have that answer:
That's right. Sunday Night Baseball is OUT, and "Women's Sports Sundays" are IN. Thoughts? First impressions?
Look, this has nothing to do with the WNBA. The WNBA – assuming the league actually plays this season – will be fine, as long as Caitlin Clark is playing. She's a content machine. This was the logical choice.
It is curious to me, though, that ESPN believes that investing in the … NWSL … is better than investing in MLB. I don't see how theROI comes out in the greenon that one.
