Listen "494. The ESPN-MLB Break-Up w/Front Office Sports Eric Fisher"
Episode Synopsis
In late February, ESPN announced that after the 2025 season, it is forgoing the remaining three years of its current contract. MLB responded by ripping the network, saying it has covered baseball less and less over the years. ESPN paid $550 million per season, and baseball will attempt to replace the upcoming lost revenue by replacing it with other networks and digital app opportunities.
Eric Fisher is making his second appearance on the show. He last appeared in Episode 421 to discuss various topics in sports business. This time, he focused on the MLB-ESPN break-up and the fallout from it. He also discussed the baseball impact of the recent shakeup in Regional Sports Networks and how some teams broadcasts are being produced by MLB.
