NY AG to MLB, Apple: Say YES to Yankees

New York Attorney General Letitia James (D) pushed MLB and Apple to reach agreement with YES Network allowing the regional sports network to carry the Yankees game against the Boston Red Sox. The game was to be carried on Apple+ Friday night. "To deny millions of New Yorkers, and fans around the nation, the opportunity to watch as (Yankees outfielder) Aaron Judge steps up to the plate, is wrong and unfair," James said Friday. Citing New York cable subscribers "being asked to pay extra if they want to watch this exciting home run chase, and potentially historic game," James said Apple and MLB should "reach a fair accommodation with the YES Network so that fans can watch what we all hope will be history made this evening.” MLB and Apple didn't comment.
