Beleaguered Diamond Sports Group, the owner of Bally Sports Kansas City and 11 other regional sports networks that broadcast baseball games, announced in bankruptcy court it would not broadcast games in 2025 for all teams except the Atlanta Braves. Four teams - the Cleveland Guardians, Milwaukee Brewers, Minnesota Twins, and Texas Rangers - already had deals that expired in 2024.
That means the Royals, and six other teams - the Cincinnati Reds, Detroit Tigers, Los Angeles Angels, Miami Marlins, St. Louis Cardinals, and Tampa Bay Rays - are now free to negotiate new deals for the 2025 season.
