TL;DR

• YouTube TV subscribers won’t have access to MLB.TV as part of ESNP Unlimited.
• MLB’s out-of-market streaming service has reportedly finalized a new agreement giving it a home inside the ESPN app.
• While YouTube TV subscribers now get ESPN Unlimited at no extra cost, MLB.TV will be available exclusively within the ESPN app and will likely require a separate subscription.

After weeks of negotiations between YouTube and Disney, YouTube TV subscribers finally learned they’ll get ESPN Unlimited at no extra cost. Unfortunately, there’s a catch. It looks like one of the most valuable sports packages still won’t be part of the deal. According to a new report from Puck’s John Ourand, MLB.TV will not be part of the ESPN Unlimited experience on YouTube TV, even after it moves under ESPN’s umbrella next year.
