[QUOTE="Bogey, post: 997173, member: 1999"] I have looked into this Amazon/Bally thing a little more. Here is what I now believe: I now think the article I referenced got ahead of what has actually happened so far when it claimed all games televised on Bally's regional channels would be available on Amazon Prime, which would include Braves games. Bally does not own Braves streaming rights. AND the proposed Amazon/Bally arrangement being considered by Bally's bankruptcy court is NOT contingent on Bally being granted any new media rights. So as of now, Braves games would not be available to be shown on Amazon. This is not to say further rights will not be granted in the future because Bally has been thrown a life line to survive after the 2024 season ends, with $450 million coming from investors and the sale of 20 of Bally's to Amazon for $115 million, which puts them in a much stronger negotiating position with MLB and the Braves. Before the Amazon deal, bankrupt Bally had committed to broadcast its 2024 MLB games per their contract and pay the teams their full amounts due. After 2024, MLB would regain full control of their media rights now controlled by Bally. This Amazon deal was negotiated without input from MLB and was a complete surprise. If all of this is indeed true and Amazon is not granted Braves streaming rights, I will become a Marlins fan and watch their games on Amazon since Bally does own Marlins' streaming rights. When the Braves moved to Cobb County, it made it difficult for me to attend games and I have only attended 4 games since, and 3 of those games I received free tickets. And the loss of Freeman to the Dodgers furthered my anger for Liberty's management of the Braves operation. So, it would be an easy transition for me to become a Marlins fan and enjoy watching major league baseball once again on a regular basis regardless how this plays out. [/QUOTE]
