They do, but I believe it is subject to local team blackouts (exclusive to Diamond sports cable channel)… Would be nice if they were somehow able to provide streaming of local teams!
I’m mixed on this. I really don’t want the market even more fractured with yet another streaming service in the mix for MLB games. Ten years ago, it was simple albeit flawed. Subscribe to cable TV if you live in the market, and the RSN has all the games. Today, if you want to watch all the games, you have to bounce around between the RSN, but then a dozen different streaming sites too with games on Apple TV, YouTube, MLB Network, Peacock, ESPN, potentially Netflix, etc… I just want to load up the MLB app, pay a reasonable annual fee, and stream all games without blackout restrictions, but such a service doesn’t exist (legally). Aa a result, I find myself caring about the product less and less with each passing year.
Would be pretty cool if they pick up some MLB/NHL teams whose rights may be up for grabs in the near term with Diamond sports bankruptcy!
NHL on Netflix might make me more inclined to subscribe, though IIRC doesn’t NHL have its own streaming service or similar concept?

Most likely Netflix wouldn’t avoid blackouts if the NHL app has them. The cable companies make deals years in advance and blackouts are part of them
