The league says that the longer Diamond has to work out a reorganization plan, the less likely it is to actually present one.
The introduction of a pitch clock at the start of the 2023 season was a big indication that Major League Baseball wanted to speed things up on the field. Haste is also on the mind of league executives off the field, particularly when it comes to the ending of MLB’s relationship with Diamond Sports Group, the company that operates 19 Bally Sports regional sports networks (RSNs).
The Arizona Diamondbacks and San Diego Padres have already left Bally Sports RSNs. MLB says Diamond has had more than enough time to submit a reorganization plan. The Minnesota Twins see their deal with Bally Sports expire when the 2023 World Series ends.
Representatives for MLB were in bankruptcy court this week to express their frustrations in a more official capacity. According to Sportico,...

The channel owner says that Directv has ‘unlawfully’ decided not to pay what it owes, even though the channels in question lost their teams this year.
If you live in the Arizona or San Diego TV markets and still get Bally Sports regional sports networks (RSNs) with your cable subscription, you’ve probably noticed there’s not much to watch there these days. Bally Sports Arizona and Bally Sports San Diego no longer have live baseball or basketball for viewers to see, instead running a series of boxing matches and other non-live events.
Directv petitioned bankruptcy court judge Christopher Lopez to allow it to make lower payments in June after Diamond gave up the rights to the San Diego Padres. Dsg has also seen the Arizona Diamondbacks, Phoenix Suns and Phoenix Mercury depart its channels. The company is still hoping to submit a reorganization plan that will help it climb out of bankruptcy.

The downright icy relationship between Major League Baseball commissioner Rob Manfred and the company that airs 13 of his teams’ games may have thawed by a degree or two this week. Manfred has been engaged in a knock-down, drag-out fight with Diamond Sports Group (Dsg) in bankruptcy court, trying by hook and by crook to reclaim the broadcast rights of those teams and pull them off Bally Sports regional sports networks (RSNs).
Manfred spoke to the Baseball Writers Association of America on Tuesday, amidst MLB’s All-Star game festivities. When the question of Dsg was raised, Manfred admitted the league had gotten the vast majority of what it was owed by Diamond, though he stopped short of paying the company any kind of compliment.
“Of the rights fees that have come due, I think we’ve collected 94% of those rights fees so far. And that’s really important,” the commissioner said.
