Major League Baseball (MLB) has taken over the television broadcasts of the San Diego Padres and Arizona Diamondbacks after the financial troubles of Diamond Sports and Bally Sports. MLB's senior vice president and executive producer of local media, Doug Johnson, ensured a smooth transition by hiring the necessary personnel and making arrangements for graphics, production trucks, transmission, and commercial insertion.

MLB made the necessary changes in a short timeframe, compressing what would typically take an entire offseason into 1.5 days.

The league prioritizes viewership over player safety and in-stadium fans, and will likely continue to expand its prime-time offerings to every night of the week.
