Diamond Sports Group and Major League Baseball reportedly forged a tentative agreement late last week that would allow another year of non-liquidated life for the bankrupt regional sports networks operator, and on Tuesday Sports Business Journal reported major details about that proposed deal.
According to the report, nine MLB teams currently under contract with Diamond for distribution of local TV rights on Bally Sports-branded channels will be paid their full contracted rates for the 2024 season. This includes the Los Angeles Angels, Atlanta Braves, Cincinnati Reds, St. Louis Cardinals, Detroit Tigers, Florida Marlins, Kansas City Royals, Milwaukee Brewers and Tampa Bay Rays.
