I don't really need it for anything else but the Rangers. If there was a streaming option I'd obviously still have to pay, but I could at least drop that subscription.

Ballys doesn't own the Rangers streaming rights so the Amazon deal doesn't involve them. One year deal for broadcast rights to continue and Rangers agree to not use their streaming rights through any other medium. Nothing is preventing Rangers from doing a future broadcast and streaming deal with Amazon/Ballys.

You would think with having a lower payment from DSG than what was originally agreed upon, the Rangers could make that money back up by letting Amazon stream the games.

The Rangers, Twins and Guardians will retain their streaming rights but won't be able to work out a new deal this year. For fans in those markets hoping for changes to the direct-to-consumer model, it seems they may have to wait another year, assuming everything ends up being approved in court.

But they can't, at least not this year. Part of the "deal" specifically excludes them from doing that this. The deal has been agreed to, I believe the last step is for the courts to approval the deal between the Rangers and Bally/DSG.Quote:

I think the payment from DSG would have been even lower, without the agreement that neither was Stream in 2024. I think the concern for DSG is, if the Rangers/MLB offers Streaming, then the viewership (aka money) for DSG would diminish.MrCoachEricTaylor said:cmiller00 said:PatAg said:

With its streaming, direct-to-consumer product, or DTC for short, Diamond sees a $77 million loss in 2023 turning into a $369 million gain in 2026. (And before expenses, Diamond thinks DTC revenue would go from $49 million last year to $658 million in 2026 a huge jump.)

Premature on both Jung and Carter, waaaay too early to think about doing that for Langford.KT 90 said:
had a popup message on phone earlier... Bobby Witt Jr gets an extension for $288M over 11 years!
So we be looking to do the same with one (or more) of: Jung or Carter? Langford needs to get to the mlb and prove himself before considering him imo.
I remember when Witt and the royals pooped on the Astros and made them their ***** last year. Hopefully that tradition continues this season.KT 90 said:

It's amazing that the Langford hype has put him above a guy who hit third or fourth in a World Series winning lineup.
But but but according to Farmer we're always going to be terrible and farm system will never be good and we can't develop anyone!gigem1223 said:
Baseball America farm system rankings:
3. Rangers
29. Astros
Porter already looks good. Hard to imagine whiffing on all the rest. Should at least be 2 good ones out of that group.gigem1223 said:
If we can hit on a just a few of Winn, Leiter, Rocker, Porter, White. Franchise would be set for the next 5-7 years.

maybe but honestly, Altuve could probably DH until he was 39... dude just knows how to hit... especially in that little league park and LF wall.
Good thing we usually have a real man in the line up whenever we play them there.ChoppinDs40 said:
