we're talking the key points of everything so first we are talking about the major bar cash in for involving MLB and ESPN next we will be talking about the rising hype around the world series i'm in the world baseball classic spring training battles heating up which guys one thing we'll be doing in the regular regular season is each level college and we're going to pick up players that stay now we'll put their what stood out to them and everything injury updates and early season projections let's dive in all right so guys MLB streaming shake up one of the biggest headlines in the baseball right now isn't about my player it's about how we botched the game he may be as expanding its dream partnership with the ESPN giving ESPN more influence over MLB TV and in the market string rights this is a huge shift you guys huge huge for years regional sports networks controlled most local broadcast now we're seeing more centralized control and that means changes in prices pricing this is plus and minus obviously I just might put it a little bit of what I really think this all easier access for some fans i mean that's glued potential blackout adjustments i mean in my opinion i'm a brave okay to be in the carolinas and you can't even watch the Atlanta Braves center on two seats away from Georgia you can't even watch your own team a more streamlined digital experience could be good this could honestly change how fans consume baseball over the next five years okay yeah this is my take on it so Trevor state of course my take if that would be gets the rights it could bring younger fans back into the game in a big way so guys all that scene says like the ever-diteration is singing with the banana ball and everything they're on our tour we could talk about banana ball too it's not just you know be all right guys now we're gonna be talking world baseball classic style the 20-2026 world baseball classic is almost here and the buzzing is building fast roster announcements are rolling in stars are committing an international spotlight is about to shine a bright so we are seeing all this while we saw what team USA you saw here in judge when you look at Team Canada there's Freddy Freeman which is one of my favorites I actually have a jersey from the brave so we work not war but when he played for my one two and fanatics I believe which fanatics in case you end up watching this hit me up I like to do a partnership deal with caliber these lucky fans can see five and fifteen percent with promo code daily diamond if we could get it that'd be great we do have

become one of the most electric events in baseball playoff's intensity national pride and the elite town all packed into one tournament now as a guy that likes watching baseball from all over I have literally 30 minutes from the show at night 30 minutes for the cana bus cana baller an hour from the ashville tourist an hour from the greensboro grasshoppers and a lot of other teams from here so early storylines include stack team USA roster expectations international powerhouses potential breakout players on the global stage the tournament continues to grow every single cycle so guys this is what I think about this all the world baseball classic might be the purpose form of competitive baseball we get outside of octa we know everybody not diverse you have to play offs you got the world series going on who wants it bad i'm particularly big old middle who wants it who wants the world series true who wants to say their country's the best um spring training battles here spring training
