Amazon is working on a deal to partner with Diamond Sports to help them out of bankruptcy. This may lead to more paid broadcasts on Prime. MLB seems less than impressed:

The NBA and NHL both said they have received the documents and were reviewing them before discussing next steps with Diamond. Major League Baseball was more pointed in its evaluation.

“There is a lot to digest. It is unable to be digested because it hasn’t been purchased, cooked or served. When we get to that point, we will look at it and figure out whether it is able to be digested,” MLB lawyer James Bromley said during the hearing. “We will refrain from adding congratulations until such time that something is actually delivered.”

One guess is that MLB might prefer Diamond Sports goes out of business so they can consolidate streaming under their own umbrella and destroy local blackouts.
