MLB commissioner Manfred has regret over ESPN opt-out, hopes for new partner in July
NEW YORK — On the day of their breakup this spring, Major League Baseball flashed some anger toward ESPN. When the broadcaster opted out of the final three years of its national baseball deal, commissioner Rob Manfred criticized the network in a letter to the sport's owners. A few months later, a different feeling has cropped up: regret. Advertisement MLB is in talks with three different broadcasters over the rights ESPN once held, Manfred said, and he hopes a new 2026-28 deal is done come the All-Star Game in mid-July. But however those negotiations end, MLB is almost certainly going to make less than the estimated $550 million ESPN would have paid annually. Manfred acknowledged Wednesday evening he would rather not be in the spot he is now. 'Look, we agreed to the opt-out as part of a set of compromises that got us to the deal we had,' Manfred said at MLB headquarters, where the league was hosting owners' meetings. 'We liked the deal we had. You know, looking backwards, do I wish I wasn't in a position to sell three years, so we can line our rights up to 2028? The answer to that is yes.' MLB's other two national TV deals, with FOX and Turner, both run through the 2028 season. ESPN's former rights include Sunday Night Baseball, the Home Run Derby and eight to 12 first-round playoff games. MLB has held talks with NBC, Apple and FOX about various parts of the package. NBC made an initial offer that was not close to what ESPN was paying, people briefed on the talks who were not authorized to speak publicly said, but NBC offers the opportunity of broad distribution. Apple already has an $85 million deal with MLB for exclusive Friday Night Baseball doubleheaders. Apple and MLB have not disclosed how many viewers watch these games, but drawing eyeballs could be a concern. 'I would overweight reach, because reach is significant to … the larger negotiation we'll have for the post-'28 period,' Manfred said of his approach to the ESPN rights. 'We continue to believe that reach drives our live business, and the combination of those two things, at least for that short period of time, I would definitely overweight reach.' FOX could emerge as a possibility for the Home Run Derby and a small piece of the overall package. Advertisement 'Each set of conversations involves a different group of content. They're not the same,' Manfred said. 'It's not like it's one package that we're talking to three people about. We're talking to three people about different packages.' The Athletic previously reported MLB is also dangling its out-of-market streaming product, MLB has never made this package available and it could have broad appeal to places like YouTube, Apple, Amazon or ESPN, among others. While ESPN remains interested in baseball, the sides have not resumed negotiations since February's opt-out schism. 'We are not in conversations with them,' ESPN chairperson Jimmy Pitaro said in mid-May. MLB was the party that pushed for the inclusion of the opt-out ESPN exercised in the first place, ESPN baseball broadcaster Boog Sciambi said publicly after the breakup. MLB declined comment on Wednesday. MLB could wind up with multiple partners, divvying up the ESPN rights into different packages. NBC, which has Sunday night NFL and NBA programming, has a natural interest in growing its Sunday night offerings year-round. MLB has a labor negotiation looming with the players after the 2026 season that has the potential to bring an offseason lockout and, if talks do not go well, canceled games in 2027. However, Manfred said fear of a work stoppage has not been an overlay in negotiations for the three years of media rights. 'We're not committed or telling people there's going to be a lockout after the end of the '26 season,' Manfred said. 'That all remains to be decided. And we're just not having those kinds of conversations in the context of media.' MLB touted its TV ratings in a news release this week, noting gains on ESPN, FOX and TBS. The league did not publicize numbers for Apple's Friday Night streams, nor for Roku's Sunday Morning package. Apple is paying the league $85 million per season, while Roku is paying $10 million.

Mets get good news on Mark Vientos' hamstring injury with Sean Manaea to start rehab assignment
Access the Mets beat like never before Join Post Sports+ for exciting subscriber-only features, including real-time texting with Mike Puma about the inside buzz on the Mets. Try it free LOS ANGELES — Mark Vientos' stay on the injured list may not last very long. The Mets received 'relatively good news' about the third baseman on Wednesday, according to manager Carlos Mendoza, with an MRI exam revealing the hamstring injury Vientos sustained two days earlier was a low-grade strain. Advertisement Mendoza added that Vientos will be treated for 10-14 days until he is symptom free before he begins building up for a return. Vientos fell running to first base Monday and emerged grabbing at the hamstring. Mark Vientos suffered a hamstring injury in the series against the Dodgers. JASON SZENES/NY POST Advertisement 'A guy goes down the way he did, you kind of expect the worst,' Mendoza said before the Mets faced the Dodgers. 'But once he went through all the testing, talking to the trainers, you hate to see him go down at any time, but the fact they are telling us it's low grade is good news.' Ronny Mauricio was promoted from Triple-A Syracuse on Tuesday to fill Vientos' roster spot and started a second straight game on Wednesday. Sean Manaea will begin a minor league rehab assignment on Friday, when he is scheduled to throw 35 pitches for Single-A Brooklyn. The left-hander has been rehabbing an oblique strain since spring training. Advertisement New York Mets pitcher Sean Manaea is set to begin a rehab assignment. JASON SZENES/ NY POST Brett Baty, who has excelled defensively at third base since his return last month from Syracuse, started at second base, with Mauricio at third. Mendoza said he reached the decision on the alignment after asking Mauricio where he felt the most comfortable. Advertisement CHECK OUT THE LATEST MLB STANDINGS AND METS STATS 'Mauricio said he was good wherever, but third base, coming up as a shortstop, he's more comfortable on the left side of the infield as of right now,' Mendoza said. Mendoza said he's inclined to stay with that arrangement for the short term but also can envision Mauricio shifting to second with Baty at third. Mendoza said the game situation will dictate how he uses Paul Blackburn from the bullpen this week. Blackburn is stretched out as a starter, positioning him to work multiple innings as needed, but Mendoza said the right-hander could also be a high-leverage option late in the game. Blackburn pitched five scoreless innings on Monday as a sixth starter in the rotation. Advertisement David Wright was on the field during batting practice with a group of youth players, including his children. Wright, who resides in the area, introduced the group to Francisco Lindor.

J.T. Realmuto exits in 9th inning as Philadelphia Phillies lose to Blue Jays
Alejandro Kirk drove in the winning run in the ninth inning and the Toronto Blue Jays beat the Philadelphia Phillies 2-1 on Wednesday night. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. hit a one-out single off former teammate Jordan Romano (4-2) and stole second base. Addison Barger struck out but Kirk won it with a line drive that hit off the wall in right field. Former Phillies reliever Jeff Hoffman (5-2) got one out for the win. Nick Castellanos opened the scoring with a solo home run off Blue Jays right-hander José Berríos in the second. Toronto chased right-hander Mick Abel and tied it in the sixth when Bo Bichette's triple scored Andrés Giménez. The run was the first allowed by Abel in his brief big league career. Abel struck out nine in six shutout innings to win his major league debut against Pittsburgh on May 18 as the Phillies beat Pirates star Paul Skenes to finish a three-game sweep. Against the Blue Jays, Abel allowed one run and three hits in 5 1/3 innings. He struck out two and walked none for the second straight start. Abel is the first pitcher in at least the last 125 seasons with 5-plus innings, no walks and one or zero runs allowed in each of his first two MLB appearances. The Phillies recalled Abel from Triple-A Lehigh Valley earlier Wednesday. He took the roster spot of righty Zack Wheeler, who went on the paternity list. Berríos allowed one run and four hits in six innings. Key moment Phillies catcher J.T. Realmuto exited in the bottom of the ninth after being hit in the groin by Bichette's foul tip. Realmuto stayed down for a few minutes before walking gingerly off the field. He was replaced by Rafael Marchán. Key stat The Phillies fell to 29-8 when scoring first. Up next Phillies LHP Jesús Luzardo (5-1, 3.58 ERA) is scheduled to start against Blue Jays RHP Chris Bassitt (5-3, 3.80) in Thursday's series finale.
