Pastime
& The Present

On Thursday afternoon, just as we were putting the finishing touches on Joh=
n
Ourand=E2=80=99s characteristically excellent private email, The Varsity ( =
https://puck.news/newsletters/the-varsity/?utm_campaign=3DThe+Backstory+-+L=

301d48d28 ), a seismic and yet entirely predictable piece of news came over=
the transom: ESPN and Major League Baseball, it was reported, had decided =
to end their multidecade relationship at the culmination of this upcoming s=
eason. Indeed, on some level, this was hardly a surprise. ESPN=E2=80=99s to=
p executives have been gesturing for
months that they want to exercise an out in their contract and renegotiate =
their $570 million per year deal. After all, MLB=E2=80=99s recent secondary=
deals with Apple TV+ and Roku, worth about a combined $100 million per yea=
r, seemed to suggest that ESPN had overpaid and there was room to negotiate=
downward.
=C2=A0
And yet the tenor of the divorce was a total shocker. After decades of part=
nership between the league and
the network, MLB commissioner Rob Manfred wrote to his franchise owners tha=
t =E2=80=9Cwe do not think it=E2=80=99s beneficial for us to accept a small=
er deal to remain on a shrinking platform=E2=80=9D=E2=80=94fighting words, =
especially in the clubby, towel-slapping culture of sports media. I had lon=
g expected that ESPN and MLB might find some sort of goldilocks solution=E2=
=80=94perhaps a smaller tranche of games and highlights for a lower price=
=E2=80=94that would allow each side to claim victory. Alas, this 35-year ma=
rriage
now seemed over.
=C2=A0
On a personal level, I admit, I was slightly crestfallen over the news. ESP=
N=E2=80=99s Sunday Night Baseball has been a hallmark of my life since adol=
escence, and it will be sad to see its demise. Furthermore, amid an era in =
which the NFL and NBA have achieved unprecedented sports rights packages, b=
aseball remains on uncertain footing. Its vast schedule and the collapse of=
the regional
sports network business have provided unique obstacles. A sport that came o=
f age during the radio era appears to have a less obvious foothold in the s=
treaming age.

predictable piece of news came over the transom: ESPN and Major League Bas=
eball, it was reported, had decided to end their multidecade relationship a=
t the culmination of this upcoming season. Indeed, on some level, this was =
hardly a surprise. ESPN=E2=80=99s top executives have been gesturing for
months that they want to exercise an out in their contract and renegotiate =
their $570 million per year deal. After all, MLB=E2=80=99s recent secondary=
deals with Apple TV+ and Roku, worth about a combined $100 million per yea=

ightly crestfallen over the news. ESPN=E2=80=99s <em>Sunday Night Baseball =
</em>has been a hallmark of my life since adolescence, and it will be sad t=
