It looks like Amazon and Jeff Bezos will be making an impact in New York after all. According to multiple reports including the New York Post, Forbes and Fox Business, Amazon will lead a group of investors which includes the New York Yankees and Sinclair Broadcasting in a deal to buy the YES Network for a whopping $3.5 billion.
The purchase of YES would give Amazon video streaming rights to the Yankees, the Brooklyn Nets, and NYCFC. The purchase would be for the 80 percent of YES that the Yankees currently do not own.
