There also will be on-demand MLB content and live weekend wrap shows available to DAZN subscribers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDAZN\u2019s multisport streaming platform provides Major League Baseball and our clubs an important opportunity to extend the game\u2019s digital reach,\u201d said Baseball Commissioner Robert D. Manfred, Jr. \u201cOur collaborative production will benefit DAZN\u2019s subscribers with new ways to follow the captivating storylines, talented young stars and impactful plays happening around the game every day.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are thrilled to partner with MLB on this important new initiative, which will be a great complement to and promotion of the outstanding lineup of live games from its national and regional broadcasters,\u201d said John Skipper, executive chairman of DAZN Group. \u201cWe will target young multicultural fans, many of whom do not have pay television. The fast-paced nature of a whip-around show will appeal to this audience and bring in new fans.
