MLB Teams and Broadcasters Face Financial Turmoil Amidst TV Rights Disputes.

Bally Sports has been ordered by a judge overseeing Diamond Sports' bankruptcy to make full payments to all MLB teams it owes money to or risk forfeiting TV rights to nine more teams. The company reportedly has the money on hand but has been asking for streaming rights before making payments. MLB has announced partnerships with DIRECTV STREAM and Fubo to offer streaming in-market and will sell a streaming service for Padres games. MLB will produce the games going forward for at least the rest of the 2023 MLB season.
