Major League Baseball will produce and distribute local broadcasts for six more teams this season. The Cincinnati Reds, Kansas City Royals, Miami Marlins, Milwaukee Brewers, St. Louis Cardinals, and Tampa Bay Rays have all made the switch. These teams ended their deals with Main Street Sports Group after missed rights payments. The Atlanta Braves, Detroit Tigers, and Los Angeles Angels are still deciding on their plans. MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred emphasized the importance of maximizing revenue for teams. The local media landscape is changing, with MLB taking over broadcasts for several teams in recent years.
