Waffles Posted August 3, 2004 Share Posted August 3, 2004 CNN/Money: Yanks, Red Sox in TV merger?According to the New York Post (of "Dick Gephardt for VP" fame), the Yankees and Red Sox are in talks to merge the Yankees' YES Network with the Red Sox' NESN to create a Northeast Sports Juggernaut. I guess money talks louder than any on-field rivalry, but I'll believe this when I see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ez Street Posted August 3, 2004 Share Posted August 3, 2004 I'm sure the SAWX fans will be thrilled. Just another sign of the rediculousness of MLB. The rich get richer. @DavidStreeter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ez Street Posted August 3, 2004 Share Posted August 3, 2004 Why don't the Yankees play all their games at home versus the scub teams. Kinda like the Harlem Globetrotters. Oh wait, we already have something close to that. I hope the lack of Farm system kills the Yankees. @DavidStreeter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess money talks louder than any on-field rivalry, but I'll believe this when I see it. Two words: NO CHANCE.The Sox own NESN. The Yanks own YES. The chances of those two teams, with the owners each one has, working together on anything is nil.Methinks the Post is just stirring it up again.

Well, if they merged that wouldn't happen. I would think that the networks would stay the same. It would work how fox sports net channels work. So basically the channels stay the same they just share the profits that they would then spend to out bid each other for players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
