MLB Could Limit Playoff Viewers With Apple TV+ Deal: Report
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Major League Baseball is enjoying strong growth this year, though a major aspect of the near future is in doubt. After ESPN announced it would be ending its partnership with MLB three years early, questions about how commissioner Rob Manfred would make up that revenue going forward have risen. "Major League Baseball is off to its best start in years," according to Lucas Shaw and Hannah Miller of Bloomberg, who reported that ESPN, TBS and Fox are all enjoying double-digit viewership lifts this year, while game attendance hit a seven-year high in 2024. "And yet, the league is scrambling to find a buyer for a major TV package that includes 30 regular season games, the Home Run Derby, the Wild Card playoff round and up to 10 spring training games." Without ESPN, MLB is left to scramble for a new partner to broadcast some of its most popular events, particularly the wild card playoff round. And it might have found that new partner in a broadcaster whose reach is not nearly as wide as ESPN's.

(Photo byfor Fortune Media) More Countess/Getty "Major League Baseball is close to announcing a new TV deal for the package that ESPN opted out of from 2026-2028, and a source indicates that Apple TV+ is currently the highest bidder," per Boston Red Sox reporter Sean McAdam of MassLive. "Baseball is, like most sports, out to make a deal for the most revenue possible, but if MLB puts an entire round of its postseason on a streaming service with just 45 million subscribers, it deserves all the grief it's going to catch." MLB and Apple TV+ recently partnered on a "Friday Night Baseball" package that gives the streamer exclusive rights to high-profile matchups each week. Those broadcasts can frustrate fans of the involved teams as they require a subscription to watch. But as Manfred seeks a profitable replacement for ESPN, he seems likely to move the package to whichever partner makes the highest offer. Soon, that could mean some of baseball fans' favorite moments will require a new subscription. More MLB: Phillies 'Bench Bat' Becomes One of Team's Best Pitchers Amid Downward Skid

Sports betting roundup: Stanley Cup Final and NBA Finals each at 1-1 headed into Game 3s
The Stanley Cup Final and NBA Finals have each played two games, and both series are knotted at a game apiece. In the NHL, the Panthers won a double-overtime game Friday night against the Edmonton Oilers to tie that series at 1-1 heading into Monday's Game 3 in Florida. Both games have gone to overtime. In the NBA, the Oklahoma City Thunder bounced back from a Game 1 loss to even the series against the Indiana Pacers. Game 3 in that series is Wednesday night in Indianapolis. Trends of the Week After losing Game 1 to Indiana, Oklahoma City was an 11.5-point favorite in Game 2, and they comfortably covered, winning 123-107. At the BetMGM sportsbook, the Thunder took in 70% of the money, but only 37% of the bets. Since 2005, teams to lose as double-digit favorites in the NBA playoffs and be favored by 10 or more points in the next game are now 5-2 against the spread. Oklahoma City ended the first quarter on a 9-0 run to lead 26-20 after 12 minutes. This allowed the 4.5-point first quarter spread to cash, with 91% of the money coming in on the Thunder. Following Edmonton taking Game 1 against Florida, the Oilers were -235 to win the Stanley Cup. Now, with Florida winning Game 2, Florida is a slight favorite to win at -115, with Edmonton coming in at -105. Upset of the Week At the French Open, Coco Gauff (+185) upset Aryna Sabalenka to win the women's title. Only 29% of the money was on Gauff to win. On the men's side, Carlos Alcaraz came back from two sets down against Jannik Sinner to win a second straight French Open title. Alcaraz was +5000 live when he was down to sets. Ryan Fox won for the second time on the PGA Tour this season at the RBC Canadian Open. Fox beat Sam Burns on the fourth playoff hole after both players finished the event at 18 under. He was +5500 in pre-tournament winner betting, and took in only 0.8% of the bets and 1.7% of the money. Coming Up NFL minicamps get underway this week and the Philadelphia Eagles remain the favorites to win the Super Bowl at +650. The Eagles are followed by the Baltimore Ravens at +700, the Buffalo Bills at +750 and the Kansas City Chiefs at +800. The Detroit Lions round out the top five at +1000. ___ This column was provided to The Associated Press by BetMGM online sportsbook. ___ AP sports:

Mason Rudolph Sends Steelers Blunt Message After Signing Aaron Rodgers
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Just a few days ago, Mason Rudolph was the starting quarterback of the Pittsburgh Steelers. Now, the 29-year-old signal-caller is right back where he was the last time he was with the franchise before leaving in 2024 to join the Tennessee Titans—as Pittsburgh's No. 2 QB— after news broke on Thursday morning that Aaron Rodgers informed the Steelers he was finally ready to sign their contract offer. Rodgers, a four-time MVP, signed his one-year, $13.65 million contract on Friday — a deal that carries $5.85 million in incentives, pays him $10 million guaranteed, and could be worth just under $20 million if he hits all performance bonuses. And while many Steelers fans celebrated after hearing the news that Rodgers and the team had finally ended their stalemate, one person who seemingly wasn't celebrating was Rudolph. In a recent interview with Steelers Now, Rudolph didn't pull any punches about the Rodgers signing and what it means for him heading into Pittsburgh's three-day mandatory minicamp on Tuesday. Mason Rudolph #2 of the Pittsburgh Steelers lines up under center in the first half during the game against the Cincinnati Bengals at Heinz Field on September 30, 2019. Mason Rudolph #2 of the Pittsburgh Steelers lines up under center in the first half during the game against the Cincinnati Bengals at Heinz Field on September 30, 2019."I had a feeling they were gonna bring somebody in," Rudolph stated. "Obviously Aaron is at the forefront of the conversation for a long time. I won't change my approach. We got one more week of practice coming up at mandatory minicamp. "It will be nice to get everybody in the building and keep doing what I've done my whole career. I've had plenty of adversity and found a way to battle through it. Stay ready." After spending the first five seasons of his NFL career with the Steelers, Rudolph signed a one-year deal with the Titans last offseason to compete with second-year QB Will Levis for the team's starting job. Rudolph started five games, posting a 1-4 record, while throwing for 1,530 yards, nine touchdowns and nine interceptions as he filled in for Levis, who missed time after suffering a shoulder injury. In his previous run with the Steelers, Rudolph compiled an 8-4-1 record as a starter, throwing for 3,085 yards, 19 touchdowns and 11 interceptions. Should Rodgers struggle at any point, Rudolph has proven himself a capable starter if needed. Rodgers, who's been relatively silent for most of the offseason, save for a surprise appearance on the "Pat McAfee Show," is coming off one of the worst seasons of his 20-year career. His 90.5 passer rating was his lowest since becoming a full-time starter with the Green Bay Packers back in 2008, and his 3,897 yards passing was his third-lowest in any season that he started 16 or more games.
