MLB could see local rights bidding war if Diamond Sports Group defaults

Things remain somewhat murky for Diamond Sports Group in its quest to emerge from bankruptcy. If that does happen, many of the streaming services desperate foras many sports broadcasting rights as possible could find themselves in a bidding war for Major League Baseball local rights.

鑽石體育集團是否能成功完成破產重組還是未知

但如果失敗的話，MLB的地方轉播權將被釋出

到時將可能引發一場競標戰爭

The Puck’s John Ourand reported Thursday that Amazon, Apple, YouTube, and NBCUniversal are all keeping in touch with MLB as the Diamond bankruptcy proceedingsplay out. All of them have an eye on the potential local rights that would become available if the Bally Sports regional sports networks were no longer viable.

根據網路媒體Puck記者John Ourand(前Sports Business Journal資深記者)的報導

Amazon、Apple、Google(YouTube)、NBC等公司都持續和MLB接觸

有興趣買下MLB的地方轉播權，如果Bally Sports消失的話

Ourand also noted that ESPN was invariably in MLB’s ear as well, which was echoed by chairman Jimmy Pitaro’s comments during Wednesday’s media day.

. “If Major League Baseball is able to put together a group of teams, we wouldlove to be able to do a larger deal,” he said as part of a larger discussion around ESPN’s impending streaming service

此外ESPN也有興趣，ESPN董事長Jimmy Pitaro在周三時表示

如果大聯盟能釋出一批球隊轉播權的話

它們有興趣合作一張更大的合約
