I would LOVE to have the Twins included with Prime. Would be a tremendous upgrade over the disaster that is Bally's.Thought I would start a thread.
Word is that Amazon is buying the streaming rights for 5 teams, including the Twins. May only need a Prime membership.
Where did you hear this? This would make me beyond a happy camper.Thought I would start a thread.

Lots of places reporting this morning, but I've yet to see anything specific about the Twins (or any team outside the YES broadcasts Amazon already handles) or pricingWhere did you hear this? This would make me beyond a happy camper.
Didn’t like the other ‘24 Twins thread?Thought I would start a thread.

Amazon agreement saves bankrupt RSN provider
Amazon will partner with Diamond Sports as part of a restructuring agreement as the largest owner of regional sports networks looks to emerge from bankruptcy.www.espn.com
Pretty sure Bally is out. No worries there.Whatever happens, please get them on TV. I subscribed to too many services already to add Bally. Plus I have never heard anything good about Bally.
If they can strike a deal with Amazon, that would be great. I already subscribe!Pretty sure Bally is out. No worries there.
They are unless it’s for one more year if they can agree to terms so that the twins can go to market with more teams, as I understand it. It’s a super complicated deal. Amazon saving the day would be AMAZING and there must be some real traction this now and not just rumors.Pretty sure Bally is out. No worries there.
It's highly likely this will be an additional charge. Amazon just changed prime video to be ad supported unless you pay more.If they can strike a deal with Amazon, that would be great. I already subscribe!
Exactly. I’ll gladly pay a monthly fee if I can see the twins more than random games or those weird Apple Friday ones when they play the Yankees.It's highly likely this will be an additional charge. Amazon just changed prime video to be ad supported unless you pay more.
Either way, I've been unable to give someone my American dollars to just watch the Twins for years, so I'll happily do so given the opportunity
It just depends on the price point for me. If it's reasonable I'll pay, but if not, there are plenty of other ways for me to waste time during the summer. And like you, I have never really had the opportunity to watch and even when I have, with so many games in a season, I have never really found them to be must-watch or schedule life around it type of thing. I guess it would just be nice to have the option to watch more than anything.It's highly likely this will be an additional charge.

I’ll probably still keep the radio option I pay for through the app which is dirt cheap so I can listen while I’m doing other things. But it will be really nice to have the garage TV have the game on in the summertime while I’m farting around with things in the garage.It just depends on the price point for me.

It sounded like it might be an ad-on channel within Prime.It's highly likely this will be an additional charge. Amazon just changed prime video to be ad supported unless you pay more.

Little unrelated to this topic, but it seems an additional subscription within a streaming platform is the future for watching sporting events on TV. It’s essentially like PPV. NFL was testing the waters last weekend to see the demand for the chiefs/dolphins game.It sounded like it might be an ad-on channel within Prime.
