While it normally wouldn’t sound like overwhelmingly exciting news, the idea that ESPN might soon be reaching a broadcast deal with the Korean Baseball Organization could mean that Americans may finally have their chance to see live games, ending a hiatus of live baseball that began for some as early as late last year.
The report behind the rumor originated with the Yonhap News Agency in Seoul on Monday, although the main source of the information has decided to remain anonymous.
This latest news surrounding a prospective agreement comes less than a week after ESPN’s negotiations with the KBO were apparently shut down.
