If you’re a big fan of the New York Yankees, you’ll want to make sure you have Amazon Prime for the upcoming season.
The Yankees will stream 21 of their games exclusively on Amazon Prime Video, according to Andrew Marchand of the New York Post. These games will largely take place on Friday evenings.
The Yankees’ game against Cleveland on April 22 will be the first to be streamed on Amazon Prime Video.

The New York Post’s Andrew Battifarano tweeted, “Honestly impressive what teams/MLB are doing to make games even less accessible.”

“I’m not a fan of this baseball trend,” OutKick’s Nick Geddes stated. “It’s difficult to understand how making games less accessible is the answer to gaining more fans. The older fan will very probably be shut off as a result of this.
