This article has important clarifying information. Bally only holds digital rights to five teams, not the Cardinals.
Diamond is said to currently only carry the digital rights to five of those teams: the Tigers, Royals, Marlins, Brewers and Rays.
Therefore, even if Diamond and Amazon do wind up with a court-approved arrangement, Diamond could not stream games via Amazon for any of its other MLB teams beyond those five. Of course, other teams and MLB could negotiate with Diamond for expanded digital rights access, but MLB and Diamond have not seen eye to eye on the worth of MLB’s streaming rights.
What the Amazon-Diamond potential marriage could mean for MLB viewers (hint: Diamond only has streaming rights to 5 MLB teams): https://t.co/nwcdphw8Pz
