Monday was the final day of the MLB The Show Players League regular season for Jeff McNeil and the New York Mets. The playoff race had been heating up and McNeil was looking to lock himself into a top seed.
That ultimately should’ve driven the viewer count, but it didn’t. McNeil hovered around 1,600 viewers, which has become the norm for him. That’s a shocker considering how tight the playoff race had become and how much McNeil had improved at streaming. Not to mention, McNeil was doing a fan giveaway during the event.
It simply feels like fans aren’t as interested in the league as the players and MLB had hoped.
