The Cubs televised yesterday’s intrasquad game to fans in the team’s viewing market who have access to Marquee Sports Network, and Javier Báez swinging his boomstick sure was a sight for sore eyes. Comcast subscribers are still not invited to the party, by the way.
I’m not one to sound alarm bells, but without a Comcast agreement in place, and with the White Sox predicted by many to be on the verge of greatness, the last thing team executives are going to want to see is casual fans shifting their allegiance eight miles south.
