As the Orioles try to fight through a disappointing start to their season, fans can more easily check on prospects and other young players in the farm system.
The Mid-Atlantic Sports Network announced this morning that select Orioles and Nationals minor league affiliate games will air live across MASN, MASN2, and MASN+ beginning this month.
“We are excited to announce the addition of these minor league games, which will allow both Nationals and Orioles fans to see the franchises’ stars of tomorrow on MASN today and further connect them to their teams,” Greg Bader, MASN executive vice president and general manager, said in a statement.
MASN announced last month the launching of MASN+, a direct-to-consumer streaming option allowing in-market fans the option to watch Orioles and Nationals baseball with no blackouts and no cable or satellite subscription.
