The New York Yankees have released the schedule of 21 games that will be exclusive to Amazon Prime in the New York market this season. It is bound to make the fans complaining about Major League Baseball’s streaming deals even more unhappy.
Nineteen of the 21 games on Amazon’s schedule are Friday night games. More importantly, three meetings between the Yankees and archrival Red Sox will be Amazon exclusives in New York. There is also a meeting with the Mets amongst those 21 games.
The games will look familiar. YES Network is providing the production and broadcast crews. They will just be a little harder to find for New Yorkers. Outside of the home market, the games will be available on MLB.tv.
Amazon will provide pre and postgame coverage too. YES’s Meredith Marakovits will host a thirty-minute show before each game highlighting the biggest individual matchups and providing highlights of earlier games. After the game, Amazon will carry manager Aaron Boone’s press conference.
