They SOLD MLB.tv outright?!? 😲 It’s not just a license deal?

What is going on?
MLB lands new media deals with NBC, Netflix and ESPN as league restructures TV future: Sources
The three-year agreements were a direct result of ESPN opting out of the final three seasons of its contract in February.

Hell of a job by Grubi tonight. Stepped up BIG TIME to be a brick wall on the net. Great win! (Stop giving away stupid penalties though.) #SeaKraken

Short-handed empty netter! 4-1 #SeaKraken

#SeaKraken don’t get another stupid penalty challenge. 😬

Good showing by USMNT to take the win. Scuffle in stoppage time was unnecessary but… made things more interesting at the end.

Hell of a win by the #SeaKraken tonight. They *brought* it in the 3rd period.

If you turned 50 Raleigh outs into hits, he'd still have a lower AVG than Judge's .331

Flip 68 Raleigh outs into times on base and his OBP would still be lower than Judge's .457

Josh Naylor was great (.490 SLG), Raleigh outslugged him by 99 points (.589), Judge outslugged Raleigh by 99 (.688)
Cal Raleigh had an exceptional year. Good for MVP in a great many seasons. In my view, this wasn't particularly close though. Judge is doing absolute freak shit at the plate, but he's been doing it so consistently that it doesn't feel that crazy anymore. Which is nuts!

Aaron Judge deservedly MVP for the 3rd time. 👨🏻‍⚖️🎉 (Should have been 4th… 2017 was a robbery.) Just an all-around phenomenal season that should not be discounted just because we’ve seen him maintain this level.

Tip of the cap to Cal Raleigh who also had an incredible year… just not *as* incredible.

Today's heretical opinion: Milk chocolate is better than dark chocolate and expensive chocolate is so very rarely worth the additional expense. Most chocolate more costly than a Lindt bonbon is a waste of money.

Also white chocolate is perfectly fine. Not real chocolate, okay, whatever. But fine.

There’s 6 minutes left in the MLB Network Rookie of the Year announcement special and the NL ROY has not been announced yet. Why would you not build the special around talking to and interviewing the winners?

Early lead for the Kraken, exactly what you want to see! #SeaKraken

what did Rob Manfred think was going to happen when he encouraged MLB to embrace gambling as a revenue stream?

Maybe—just maybe—sports leagues getting in bed with gambling companies wasn’t such a hot idea…

Breaking news per Jeff Passan: “Cleveland Guardians pitchers Emmanuel Clase and Luis Ortiz have been indicted by prosecutors in Brooklyn on a host of charges related to a scheme to rig bets on pitches thrown in MLB games. Ortiz was arrested in Boston earlier today. Clase is not currently in custody”

Dominant performance from City, against the reigning champs no less. Shaking off the hangover from last year. Love it.

International break next to screw up our momentum. Hate it.

But great game today, Blues! Pep wins his 1,000th! #mcfc #mancity

Every Man City outfield player touched the ball in the build-up to Erling Haaland's goal 👏

Doku with the dagger!!! 3-0!!! #mcfc #mancity

Actually, in general, spending too much time in front of our goal this half. Get the game down to Liverpool’s side of the pitch. #mcfc #mancity
November 9, 2025 at 5:54 PM
That was too close to an own goal. 😬 City need to tighten up. #mcfc #mancity
November 9, 2025 at 5:53 PM
I cannot believe we got out of that sequence without conceding. Wide open goal. #mcfc #mancity
November 9, 2025 at 5:45 PM
City go up another right before HT! Love to see if! 2-0! #mcfc #mancity
November 9, 2025 at 5:21 PM
Offside! Take it off the board! 😛 #mcfc #mancity
November 9, 2025 at 5:11 PM
That was a BEAUTIFUL sequence… made the goal seem effortless. C’mon City! #mcfc #mancity
