OT: MLB 2020 Discussion Opening Day and beyond

[Devils731]

just even asking how much do the devils make off their cable deal? Does anyone know? Always assumed they would or could make a deal with sny and join the Mets broadcast

Devils get $25 million a year until 2037.

It’s a big deal overall but especially big considering the Devils mediocre viewership while being a poor team.

They signed a 20 year deal worth $500,000,000 so 25 mil per year.

I wonder how this would even work, they would need overflow channels cause all 3 teams do play at the same time during certain times of the year. Plus would you even show a 76ers game anywhere but South Jersey? Nobody in the rest of NJ or the NYC area gives a shit about the 76ers.

Certainly interesting to see how many comments on there are about people wanting them to sell the 76ers.

Wilpons are in a tough spot. Hopefully Harris/Blitzer can pull this off and get the Devils on a new network instead of MSG. That could be more important for business moving forward if attendance stays down for an extended period.

Wow that’s a lot esp for the devils being the devils.

so if the owners did buy the Mets and get sny which I read was a sticking point to the Cohen guy buying them. Would it make sense to move the devils there at some point? Sny from what I’ve watched is pretty good with coverage for the Mets. I’m not as diehard as others might be so maybe I’m wrong

I don't know if it really matters THAT much but I can't see it hurting. I'm happy with MSG for the most part but I don't think viewership would change that much but I have no basis for that.

Maybe can get some original programming or cross over stuff with the Mets

The tv deal only goes until 2024-25. It was a 20 year deal signed in 2005. I don’t think any extension has been signed.

Thanks. You’re right, I was in a 2017 article and did my own math on it.

Cubs host Crew on July 24 for 2020 opener


The Cubs' schedule consists of 40 games against National League Central opponents (10 apiece against the Brewers, Cardinals, Pirates and Reds) and then 20 against American League Central foes. That will include six games against the crosstown-rival White Sox, plus four games each against the Indians and Royals, and three apiece against the Tigers and Twins


ill assume its the same format for all teams


lets go!

Looks like they are out of the running at the moment...

 

[DaBadGuy7]

Looks like Josh Harris is prepared to battle Steve Cohen for the Mets, surprised SNY isn’t involved. Maybe playing the long game with Mets SNY contract ending in 2030:







She is plugged in with the Mets sale and has a connection to Steve Cohen

LOL Manfred...I get everything's unprecedented this year anyway, but to change the rules the day the season starts?!

whats the change? twitter doesnt open on my computer

 

[NJDevs26]

They want to change the playoffs for THIS year, from 10 to 16 teams. But they have to agree to it by first pitch tomorrow. It's a gongshow.

This is horrible...

This is horrible...

I believe it was also fox who tried the glowing puck for a few seasons.

 

[Ripshot 43]

This is horrible...

Even with virtual fans, the Rays and Marlins are only able to fill their stadiums 20% of capacity.

 

[NJDevs26]

I don't know why people are so averse to CG fans when they're willing to accept CG crowd noise. Let 'em try it...maybe it'll be derivative and a horrible reminder of what can't happen again for a while and they won't do it any more. Or maybe people will like at least losing themselves in an alternate reality for a few hours.

Either go whole-hog on trying to create a picturesque alt-reality or just do everything in real-time silence, no crowd noise, no mannequins in the stands. Doing it halfway to me is worse.
