MLB's deal with Polymarket does not cover Minor League Baseball. But Polymarket exec Ari Bodor said MLB and Polymarket could nonetheless work together there re: threats. Manfred last month expressed concern over the availability of wagering on MiLB. nytimes.com/athletic/71316…

MLB and traditional sports-book partners put in a $200 limit on pitch-level prop bets following the Clase-Ortiz indictments. But how exactly the league will restrict prop bets in prediction markets — where MLB just partnered with Polymarket — is unclear nytimes.com/athletic/71316…

Mark DeRosa on whether he would come back for next WBC: "It would be 100 percent yes to do it again. Love to get over the finish line. ... Why? If you saw how hurting the guys are in the locker room now, you’d know why."

The Netflix deal isn’t $100 million flat either, but over. Huge nine-figure haul for the tournament.

Many in MLB assume the next World Baseball Classic will be 2029. That could well be the case, but it has to be negotiated. Said MLB SVP Jeremiah Yolkut: “I think four years is a long period of time. It’s not that we couldn’t do it..." nytimes.com/athletic/71245…

Miami has been so loud as the host of the World Baseball Classic, the games so well attended that some tournament officials think it should be the de facto host of the WBC going forward: “I think Miami is always going to be in the rotation in some way" nytimes.com/athletic/71245…

World Baseball Classic dreams are on the line. For several prominent teams, so is a bid to the 2028 Olympics. It's likely a very good team will be left out. Story w/ @EvanDrellich on the qualifying process: nytimes.com/athletic/71143…
