Amazon's Potential Impact on Sports Streaming: From Diamond Sports to MLB and Beyond
TL;DR Summary
Diamond Sports, currently in Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings, is in talks with Amazon to create a proposal that would allow the company to continue existing beyond 2024. Diamond holds TV rights for 11 MLB teams but only has digital rights for five of them. If a deal is reached, Amazon would be able to broadcast the teams for which Diamond holds digital rights, but not for the other MLB teams. The impact on baseball would be limited unless other teams negotiate with Diamond for expanded digital rights access.
