MLB TV has new price for 2020 season - 美國職棒

There is going to be a 2020 MLB season ... that’s what the league hopes, at
least. MLB made it official Monday, unveiling its new 60-game schedule for
the 2020 season.

With that issue finally settled, MLB.TV could finally reveal its plans for
2020. If fans want to watch every game in 2020, they can purchase the league’
s streaming service for $59.99.

That figure is a reduction from MLB.TV’s usual price of $121.99 for a
162-game season. However, paying $59.99 for a 60-game season actually comes
out to consumers paying more per game than they would during a normal season.
MLB.TV says documentaries and features have been added to the product,
including special old games and “This Week in Baseball” episodes.

Existing subscribers don’t have to worry about paying $59.99 for MLB.TV in
2020. An email was sent to current subscribers informing them that they will
pay the prorated the cost of the service. In other words, people who remained
subscribed to MLB.TV during the coronavirus pandemic will pay $45.18 for the
2020 season. The remaining $76.81 will either be refunded, or can be used as
credit toward an MLB.TV subscription in 2021. If you purchased MLB.TV for
2020 but canceled once the season was suspended, you will also be eligible
for the prorated $45.18 price.

Fans looking to purchase a single team plan will pay $49.99 for the 60-game
season. Keep in mind, local blackouts still apply. If you’re a Chicago Cubs
fan who lives in Chicago, you won’t be able to watch Cubs games on MLB.TV
due to blackout rules.

The $59.99 price, an increase in cost per game, is a disappointment
considering life hasn’t been easy for many amid the coronavirus pandemic.
Unemployment numbers are troubling, and there’s an argument to be made that
baseball would benefit greatly from making itself more accessible to fans in
2020. If the season begins as planned on July 23, the league would have a
full week where it is one of the only professional sports on television. The
league should be bending over backward to make sure those games are widely
available.

That’s not to say MLB.TV should be free for 2020. People work to make the
product happen, and those people deserve to stay employed. But making the
prorated price of $45.18 available to the general public might have been the
best way to go.

Ultimately, the difference in price may not matter. Fans are desperate for
sports, and MLB.TV is still cheaper than usual. The $59.99 fee could be the
thing that entices some fans to give MLB.TV a shot.

When the 2021 MLB season rolls around, those fans can decide whether they
want to pay the full season price for the product.
