In a bold proposal, a New York City council member is advocating for Major League Baseball to be made free and easily accessible to the public. Council Member Lincoln Restler claims that the sport, which has a rich history in the city, has become too expensive and exclusive for many fans. He argues that by making games and broadcasts freely available, the league can increase its exposure and attract a new generation of fans, ultimately boosting its popularity and revenue. The council member's plan would require MLB to reconsider its broadcast agreements and potentially partner with streaming services to make games widely available.
