I don't understand Manfred's idea if it is true

Leaving games for fans to watch on limited choice packages like ESPN+, Apple, Amazon.

Seems like collusion to me.  Take away viewing even local networks?

I do pay annually for MLB but just like any of these subs the prices always go up.

I think it's dangerous ground and the NFL may be heading in that direction.

I may be speaking on ignorance with this.

The NFL is a national contract, with provisions that games be broadcast into local markets assuming they are sold out at the home stadium.  The thing where each team has a local deal is very much an MLB thing.
