Max Scherzer’s much-anticipated return to Nationals Park as a member of the Mets likely won’t be on MASN or SNY.
The Nationals-Mets showdown on Friday, April 8, will be streamed exclusively by Apple TV+. The contest — the second of the season for both teams — will be the first “Friday Night Baseball” game for Apple TV+, which has exclusive rights to a pair of MLB games every Friday.
Mets manager Buck Showalter has already announced that ace Jacob deGrom will be New York’s opening day starter, meaning Scherzer is likely to take the bump for the second game of the season on April 8.
