No IPO for MLB's digital arm: League media boss
Bob Bowman, president of baseball and media for Major League Baseball, told CNBC that the league's digital media arm would not be offering shares to the public, contrary to an earlier report in the New York Post.
"There probably won't be an IPO," said Bowman. Instead, he discussed a framework to sell a piece of the league's technology arm to a private buyer. "We're going to carve out our technology business, and we're talking to about dozens of strategic investors."
