The issue is that MLB.tv is a lot, _lot_ less expensive than what the Yankees make by offering a cable channel (where they make a lot of money from people who never even tune the channel, because of carriage fees). So that $160/year you pay the MLB would have to outweigh all that money that YES makes because they have exclusive rights to carry games in their broadcast area.
Are you willing to pay $300/year+ for MLBtv?

- corrral 4y ago> Are you willing to pay $300/year+ for MLBtv? Given how many people I know who pay $80+ a month for cable only for sports, I guarantee you'd get a lot of takers for a "stream any game, any time, anywhere, $350/yr" plan for any of several major sports, including baseball.
