So this is from a few days ago, but it turns out the BBC has signed a five year deal with the MLB. It's mainly for the London series, but they seem to get some other US based ones too.

Quote:This Saturday, White will get another close look at the Triple Crown candidate when he serves as a commentator for BBC Sport's broadcast of the latest chapter in the Red Sox-Yankees rivalry from Yankee Stadium. Melanie Newman will handle the play-by-play duties while joined by White and former Yankees pitcher CC Sabathia.
The broadcast is part of a new five-year deal between the BBC and MLB that will see the BBC air regular-season games each season. The broadcasts will be tailored to appeal to both existing and new baseball fans in the United Kingdom. The MLB Network-produced game will be shown live on BBC iPlayer at 1 p.m. ET, 6 p.m. in the UK.
