Time to start scouring team sites for webcasts until the free mlb.tv sub renews😂

The 2025 sub should be good through the end of the month, the new one will probably come out around March 24.

Assuming the ESPN situation hasn't impacted their deal with T-Mobile, which is supposed to run at least through 2028.

I asked jeff Agrest of the Sun-Times about why the Sox aren't televising all spring training games. He is the sports media reporter. Here is his answer:

"I've asked others about that. The answer is money. There isn't much, if any, to be made on spring-training games. The ad dollars aren't there to support it. Marquee came out like gangbusters when it launched, airing almost every spring game. Now it's down to 11. I actually give CHSN credit for airing nine. NBC Sports Chicago never came close to that many."

It costs almost nothing to have a static camera behind home plate and do a webcast. They should be doing that at a minimum

I wrote Jeff back saying that I recall either in 2005 or 2006, NBC Sports Chicago televised almost every Sox spring training game

I’ll have to check. I do seem to remember spring games being unavailable but I could be wrong.
