MLB takes aim at the parent company of Bally Sports, saying it is depriving fans of seeing great moments from players like Kevin Pillar.
Major League Baseball promotes its star players, the likes of Shohei Ohtani and Mookie Betts, Mike Trout and Fernando Tatis Jr. The league has never launched a marketing campaign around Kevin Pillar. “I was never deserving of it,” Pillar said Tuesday at Angel Stadium. The league depends upon rosters populated by players like Pillar, the Angels outfielder who played at West Hills Chaminade and Cal State Dominguez Hills.
As a result, Comcast removed Bally channels from its cable systems on May 1, depriving some fans of the star turns of Pillar and other players, according to the league, but also putting all the Bally channels at “substantially increased risk of shutting down altogether.” A court hearing is scheduled Wednesday, at which Bally can respond to the league’s concerns.
