Thanks to Amazon Investment, Restructured Diamond Sports Group Will ‘Thrive Beyond 2024’

About a week after a potential deal between Amazon and Diamond Sports Group was shut down, presumably so MLB could facilitate its own takeover, the two sides have reached an agreement. Though Diamond holds broadcast rights for 11 teams — Angels, Braves, Brewers, Cardinals, Guardians, Marlins, Rangers, Rays, Reds, Royals, and Tigers — it only holds streaming rights to the five in bold.

According to Josh Kosman of the New York Times, Amazon will invest around $100 million to stream those teams’ games directly to consumers via Prime.
