MLB and Barstool potentially could team up to create a new type of broadcast with a focus on in-game gambling.
Major League Baseball and Barstool Sports have had significant negotiations about having national midweek games on the site’s platforms, The Post has learned.
Alphabet’s GOOGL, +0.87% GOOG, +0.70% YouTube is a possibility for the midweek national games, as it already has streamed MLB games for three years. Comcast’s CMCSA, -0.70% Peacock just did a weekend series last month, as well, and is seen as a contender. As is Barstool’s wont, the Arizona Bowl broadcast is not expected to be traditional in its delivery, which could appeal to MLB.
MLB Network, during a few of its games this season, has featured what it termed the “Clubhouse Edition” approach with CC Sabathia, among others, on hand. Barstool’s parent company, Penn National, just bought the Canadian betting app, theScore. It has sportsbooks in several states with the list growing. And now it is moving into live rights.
