Apple TV+ in 'serious talks' to carry Major League Baseball
What you need to know
- Apple has reportedly held "serious talks" about bringing Major League Baseball to Apple TV+.
- Both Apple and MLB declined to comment on the report.
You might be watching Major League Baseball through Apple TV+ in the future.
As reported by the New York Post, Apple has had "substantial talks" with the league to carry MLB games on its streaming service next season. While not the first time Apple has been rumored to be bringing live sports to its streaming service, this might be the biggest one.
According to the report, the package that MLB has been looking for a buyer for is its weekday national games that ESPN recently dropped.
Apple has been rumored to be working towards a number of sports-related content for its streaming service, including NFL Sunday Ticket and Pac-12 deals. None have come to fruition yet, but it is clear the company has its eyes on live sports.
Bottom line: The price tag and marginal upgrades are a big ask for current 4K TV customers, but the new Apple TV 4K (2021) is an excellent bit of kit.
