Thanks but paywall. Just an answer here would be sufficient, thanks.

MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred balked at the idea of a multi-year Amazon partnership with Diamond recently, preferring instead to deal directly with Amazon, but the new deal with Diamond would reportedly give Amazon streaming rights to five teams (Detroit, Kansas City, Miami, Milwaukee and Tampa Bay) in 2024.

Thanks, but looking at the original article, the map only shows those teams in those markets.

So my question is that showed twins for North Dakota, South Dakota, and Minnesota. So would they only show twins games in that market, KC games in the KC market, Missouri, Iowa, etc?

Reason I ask is I've got a number of friends here that are twins fans, so being in Iowa would they stream twins games here, or just KC, and when they play the twins, etc.

Does that make sense? Or do we even know.

Iowa is the most confusing MLB state in the country. It is considered a home market for the Royals, Cardinals, Twins, Cubs, White Sox and Brewers.

Sounds like the twins would be on bally this year for most games, but there are no definite answers in those articles.

To me, someone in Minnesota needs to start a Minnesota sports channel,
Pro (except vikings), HS, small college sports.. PPV or paid subscription. There is a want for it.
