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.

I agree that Bally's sucks dirty monkey balls, but the Royals will have to work with them to fulfill what should be the requirement for the Royals to ensure JACO residents can watch on TV for free. But you are right, Bally's sucks.
