MLB.tv changes for 2016

For those who are out of the Boston area like myself, I'm sure you also have to deal with the aggravating and usually absurd blackout rules.  MLB and Fox Sports has finally come to an agreement to allow local streaming of live games on mlb.tv Of course, this doesn't help me at all with Baltimore and Washington blackouts here in NC since Fox Sports doesn't own the rights for those teams.  Maybe someday.  At least people in Alabama will now be able to watch Cincinnati Reds games (the oddest of all blackouts).

Here are the affected teams:

■ Atlanta Braves
■ Cincinnati Reds
■ Cleveland Indians
■ Texas Rangers
■ Detroit Tigers
■ Kansas City Royals
■ Los Angeles Angels
■ Miami Marlins
■ Milwaukee Brewers
■ Minnesota Twins
■ New York Yankees
■ Arizona Diamondbacks
■ San Diego Padres
■ St. Louis Cardinals
■ Tampa Bay Rays

So if any of those teams are blacked out for you, they won't be next season.
