...the moment they drop the limitations on alternative services is the moment the cable companies see no value in continue to pay for the game...which is the moment that regional sports networks like ROOT collapse...which is the moment that revenues and team payrolls halt growing or even drop down to lower totals...which is the moment that baseball's best talents move to more profitable sports.
There has GOT to be a way for MLB to cut off the cable companies and still make lots of money...I don't know what that way is.
