Opening Day marks a new era for the longstanding relationship between MLB and ESPN. Though ESPN is no longer the home for “Sunday Night Baseball” (now on NBC) or the Home Run Derby (now on Netflix), the sports broadcasting network is actually bringing fans more baseball than ever.

The Boston Red Sox and San Diego Padres play the rubber match of their three-game series with Game 3 set for Sunday afternoon at Fenway Park.

T-Mobile's free MLB promotion has returned, though you only have until the month's end to redeem the offer. T-Mobile is giving away a free season of MLB.TV access for subscribers starting today, though you’ll only have until March 30 to claim it.

With in-market, blackout-free streaming subscriptions available for 22 of MLB’s 30 clubs and with ESPN having acquired the rights to sell the popular MLB.TV streaming service, fans have more flexibility in how they consume baseball broadcasts.

Today’s the day, T-Mobile customers! Head into the T Life app to claim your free season of MLB TV, a $149 value. Redeeming the offer is the same as it has been for the past few years, but just in case this is your first year taking advantage of the offer, know that it’s a very easy process.
