Mariners shutting down Root Sports network, MLB to handle broadcasting in 2026

Mariners broadcasts will shift to MLB Local Media in 2026.

The Mariners are the 14th team to offer a DTC option this offseason and 27th overall.

The team has seen a 69% increase in local viewership this season.

"Good on them for leaving the deal early, I wonder what the cost was to do so."

"THAT MAN DOES IT AGAIN!" "Just a shocking defeat."

"He's got both! He got 'em both!"

"There's no case to be made for the fan interfering with Dylan, is there?" "I don't think so."

"First off, I do want to clarify, not certified as a meteorologist."

The Seattle Mariners are reportedly expected to take 100 percent control of ROOT Sports Northwest on January 1, 2024.

A deal for AT&T SportsNet Southwest isn't done yet, but it's reportedly close as well.

"We couldn’t be more pleased about adding DirecTV and DirecTV Stream to the list of providers for the Kraken and the Trail Blazers."

Incredible play and a hilarious call.

AT&T reportedly received bids of around $500 million rather than the $1 billion they were looking for, and now may not sell the RSNs after all.
