Diamond Sports Group, the bankrupt operator of Bally Sports-branded local sports channels, has struck a deal to continue broadcasting Cleveland Guardians, Minnesota Twins and Texas Rangers games through the upcoming Major League Baseball season.
Diamond said Friday’s agreements with the three MLB clubs avoid potential disruption for fans and that the company will continue talks with the teams and the league as it hammers out a restructuring plan to save the broadcaster from closing.
