Fox May Look to Bolster MLB Deal Following ESPN’s Exit As ESPN and Major League Baseball begin warming up for the final season of their 36-year partnership, another legacy network may be taking a closer look at the live-game inventory that will become available at the end of the 2025 season. Speaking Monday at the Deutsche Bank Media, Internet & Telecom Conference, Fox C orp. COO John Nallen suggested his team may kick the tires on an expanded deal w ith MLB. “I think what will come to market in some form will be some baseball p roduct, particularly after [MLB] and ESPN announced that after the season their relationship would change,” Nallen said. “So, baseball has been a great produc t for us, and we’ll probably look at that and look at it in the context of how it makes sense to us overall.” While MLB has had conversations with a number of potential ESPN replacements, in cluding Amazon Prime and NBCUniversal, those talks are said to be circling aroun d 2028, when the league’s full suite of rights packages is set to go back on th e block. Nallen’s remarks about the possibility of applying some shoe leather to MLB’s whitewalls was made within the context of the state of the greater sports-rights picture. “There’s really not much available, to be honest,” he said, when as ked if Fox might look to add to its already well-stocked larder. “Absent [MLB], there’s not a lot out there that we’d be attracted to at this point.” https://reurl.cc/9Dz1xv 福斯的营运长John Nallen近期表示 他们有兴趣扩大和MLB的转播约 也就是接手ESPN的周日棒球夜、全垒打大赛、外卡轮等等 Nallen表示:棒球对我们来说一直是个很棒的产品，我们可能会审视，并从整体的角度来看 它是否合理 并说现阶段除了MLB外，他们对於新加其它赛事转播没啥兴趣 MLB同时也有和Amazon Prime 、NBC交涉中 但主要是谈2028全部合约到期後的事 --
