How can I watch MLB.TV with an Amazon Prime account? Subscription details explored

For die-hard baseball fans, MLB.TV is the holy grail of baseball coverage, offering everything from regular-season games to the postseason, Minor Leagues and much more. Since its debut in 2002, the broadcasting service has been the pinnacle of baseball coverage.

There are several options available for fans looking to utilize MLB.TV this season, including Fubo, through the T-Mobile Tuesdays promotion and Amazon Prime. They could also simply go through the service itself, however, it will not come cheap.

MLB.TV offers two primary subscription plans: All Teams ($149.99 a year) and Single Team ($129.99 a year). While the subscription does come with a big bill, baseball fans will also have access to Minor League Baseball action throughout the season. There will also be the usual programming that comes with the application, including highlights and news pieces.
