In a report released today by the New York Post, Apple is said to be in “serious talks” as part of the Major League Baseball broadcast rights negotiations. Apple has been rumored to explore sports rights for some time.
Presumably, Apple would group sports streaming under Apple TV +, or some sort of complementary level. The Post says if a deal is made, Apple will start broadcasting MLB games starting next season.
The exact details of the deal were not disclosed. However, the sports package that would be on the table is the Weekday National Games, which was owned by ESPN until recently.
Over the past two years, Apple has significantly ramped up its investment in content services, including billions of dollars spent producing Apple Original movies and TV shows for its Apple TV + streaming service.
