Every baseball fan knows that if they don't want to miss a moment of action, MLB.TV is the premier option to stream every game. With the season rapidly approaching, fans will need to decide how they will watch their favorite team play this year.
Thankfully, with the increase in technology, fans will have multiple options on how to stream games. MLB.TV is an option that allows fans across the country to be able to tune into their favorite team no matter where they are.
The service 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.
