Amazon will partner with Diamond Sports as part of a restructuring agreement as the largest owner of regional sports networks looks to emerge from bankruptcy.

Hopefully this will be added to Amazon Prime with no extra fees???
I hope not, LOL! More pay to view sports since I don't have Amazon Prime. There was another sports network I read about recently that was bankrupt and partner with some other company. I can't remember the name of it.
If Prime bails out diamond and bally sports, you can bet the motive is to turn the merger into additional Prime revenue.
Bally sports has the rights to the Royals games and has been my avenue to see my sorry team play for a number of years now. It has been part of my local cable company package and was available on directv when I switched providers. Whoever carries the Bally sports package will likely be my only viewing option being as I'm in the blackout area of KC Missouri here in mid Kansas.
I copied this paragraph from Danny's link:
Customers will be able to access their local team’s content on Prime Video channels where Diamond has rights. Pricing and availability will be announced at a later date, but it is unlikely that this content would be available as benefit included for current Prime subscribers. Regional sports content will also remain available on cable and satellite providers.
