Major League Baseball and ESPN have a framework agreement that would give the ne

消息人士向《The Athletic》透露，MLB与ESPN 已达成一项框架协议
将授权ESPN未来三年内的独家权利
可在其串流平台销售所有例行赛外地市场转播(out-of-market)
以及五支球队的当地市场赛事转播（in-market ）
Under the framework of an agreement between MLB and ESPN, ESPN would have MLB.TV
as part of its direct-to-consumer offering.
等于ESPN将把MLB.TV 纳入其DTC服务中
ESPN would continue to broadcast around 30 regular-season games, but “Sunday Ni
ght Baseball” would move to a different night during the week. The games on the
network would remain exclusive, meaning viewers would only be able to watch the
se matchups through ESPN. The agreement would begin next season.
除此之外，ESPN每年依然会独家转播大约30场例行赛
但会是在周间，而不是以往的周日棒球夜
The deal is not yet signed, and its full completion is not expected until Septem
ber. The exact amount that ESPN will pay is not known, but it is substantial.
合约还没签，ESPN 将支付的确切金额也尚未揭露，但金额相当可观
Netflix remains the heavy favorite to pick up the Home Run Derby for the next th
ree years, while NBC and Apple are considered the top landing spots for “Sunday
Night Baseball” and the first round playoff games.
然后Netflix依然是全垒打大赛转播权的领跑者
至于周日棒球夜（SNB)、第一轮外卡战
则是NBC和苹果的对决
Apple already has Friday night exclusive doubleheaders. MLB’s leaders are still
trying to find the right price and distribution models for this package and its
playoff rights.
苹果本身已经持有周五棒球夜
MLB 高层仍在努力寻找SNB及其外卡赛转播权的合适价格与模式
What Netflix is expected to pay for Home Run Derby is not yet known, but sources
briefed on the expected terms said it has met what MLB is looking to be paid fo
r the event.
Netflix预计为全垒打大赛支付的金额尚未公布，
但消息人士表示，谈定的金额已符合MLB对该赛事的预期（根据华尔街日报的报导，是超过3
500万镁/年）
All of the deals that MLB is making are expected to be three years, as the leagu
e wants to line up its entire national and international rights, plus the World
Series and playoffs, to auction off at once and begin in 2029.
这些转播合约预计都是签三年
因为联盟想要让所有的转播权都在2028年后一起到期
到时能一次整合性的拍卖

话说这样对于台湾以后要订MLB TV
也是要透过ESPN吗
我们也算out-of-market吧（？
然后苹果不一定会失去周五棒球夜
