    But I liked the idea of David Wells! Especially if he and Cone worked together. Yikes.

  4. Steve Lombardi Says:

    FWIW, I edited the Wells replacement idea out once I found out that Al was staying with YES too.

    According to the report,

    Major League Baseball and Verizon Communications Inc. are teaming up for the first-ever television arrangement between the two major companies. Starting January 1, 2009, MLB Network will be available to all Verizon FiOS TV customers, projected to be the largest debut in cable TV history.
    MLB Network will be offered as part of Verizon FiOS TV’s Essentials and Extreme HD packages on channel 86, along with a high-definition simulcast of MLB Network on channel 586. In addition to live games, MLB Network will broadcast original programming, highlights, baseball-related news coverage and classic games. The channel’s 2009 launch is expected to reach approximately 50 million cable and satellite homes.

    The MLB and Verizon agreement will also kick off a new, multi-year deal to provide the MLB Extra Innings package on FiOS TV. Viewers will be able to enjoy up to 80 nationwide Major League Baseball games every week.
