MLB ditches Yahoo!

Looks like big changes for Yahoo Fantasy Baseball this spring. . . MLB Advanced Media and the Major League Baseball Players Association last month announced that they have agreed to an "Exclusive" relationship in a $50 million five year agreement.

Friday, Yahoo!, ESPN, CBS Sportsline, and others were Emailed telling them they would not be granted a license to operate Fantasy Baseball games. What MLBAM would like of course is for all Fantasy Players to play on MLBonline.com. For a small fee I'm sure!

"We are pleased to unite with the players as we continue to enhance the reach of this great game through digital media" said Bob Bowman, CEO of MLBAM. Gee I wonder if we could reach Bob at Bobbowman@MLBAM.com and let he know what we think?
