Twins release statement addressing concerns following Comcast, Bally Sports dispute

The Minnesota Twins are on fire, winning nine consecutive games and captivating fans across the state. However, a recent dispute between Comcast/Xfinity and Bally Sports North has left many fans in the dark, unable to watch their favorite team in action.

Comcast/Xfinity subscribers were shocked to see a static screen on Bally Sports North, informing them that the channel was no longer available due to a disagreement between the two companies. While Comcast has promised prorated monthly credits for the loss of Bally Sports, fans are left frustrated and disappointed.

The Minnesota Twins have issued a statement expressing their disappointment in the situation, emphasizing that they have no control over the negotiations between Comcast and Bally Sports. Fans have criticized the team for prioritizing money over accessibility, as the decision to partner with Bally Sports has limited in-market streaming options for viewers.

The Twins’ decision to sign a contract with Diamond Sports Group, which owns Bally Sports, has also come under scrutiny. The one-year extension of the contract has left fans scrambling to find alternative ways to watch games, such as streaming through FUBO TV or subscribing to DirecTV.

Diamond Sports Group has expressed their disappointment in Comcast’s refusal to engage in discussions, highlighting the importance of reaching an agreement for the benefit of fans. In the meantime, fans are encouraged to explore other options to access Bally Sports content, such as DirecTV or the Bally Sports+ direct-to-consumer offering.

As the Twins continue their winning streak, fans are hopeful that a resolution will be reached soon so they can once again enjoy watching their favorite team in action.
