Smart move would be to not include Bally Sports in anything, as that's an entity that is an awful business partner (Go figure, for a child company of Sinclair Broadcasting).
Most recent update has the Bally/Diamond group claiming it can't provide the details of its agreements with distributors due to confidentiality agreements, and that the confidentiality agreements themselves are confidential.
Supposedly they have something worked out with Amazon but won't share any details about it.
People seem to think the TV/regional sports network issue is a Royals-only thing. It is not. There are about a dozen other MLB teams, and NHL and NBA teams, dealing with Bally's bullshit, too.
I do think that since the teams are separating locale, it makes sense to separate funding and what's happening for them. They have very different needs and wants.
