The current deal (which expires in 2020) will have amassed the Colorado Rockies $200 million over a 10-year period to televise 150 of their games a season on what is now AT&T Sports Network. This contract was signed right before baseball saw an explosion in regional sports network TV deals, led by the Los Angeles Dodgers’ 25-year $8.35-billion deal signed in 2014.
Only the Tampa Bay Rays and Miami Marlins had deals that were as lowly grossing as the Rockies, paying just $20 million a year. The Marlins’ deal ends the same year as Colorado’s and it’s unclear if they can sustain in South Florida so it’s hard to compare.
