MLB and Fox are talking about extending their World Series coverage deal
Al YellonFox-TV and Major League Baseball currently have a contract for the network to televise postseason baseball through 2021. According to Andrew Marchand of the New York Post, that deal could soon be extended:
Major League Baseball and Fox are moving toward a new multibillion-dollar deal to extend the network’s longtime hold on the World Series for the foreseeable future, The Post has learned.
Sources said MLB is open to doing an extension with Fox because it is happy with the relationship, and it would be receiving a substantial enough increase without going on the marketplace.
