DETROIT — It might not be a good deal for people who call it “The Facebook” or perhaps for certain politicians who don’t realize there isn’t a subscription for the largest social media platform in the world. But for others, it’s a free baseball broadcast on their phone, iPad or computer that they might not be able to watch otherwise.
In an effort to broaden its reach to different fans, and more importantly consumers, Major League Baseball and Facebook reached an agreement this spring to expand their partnership for 2018, which included the agreement to produce and broadcast one game every week to Facebook’s global audience.
