Major League Baseball has reached a billion-dollar deal with Turner Sports to continue broadcasting playoff games, according to a report by the New York Post.
The length and yearly breakdown of that money is not yet known. Turner pays $350 million per season under their current deal with MLB, and the Post suggested the new one could be for $500 million.
MLB and Turner's current contract runs through the 2021 postseason.
While MLB will not see any of that new money until the current deal expires after 2021, this news was broken at a less than ideal time for the league.
