According to multiple Reddit threads, some of the subscribers remain hopeful that MLB Network will be back on YouTube TV despite the recent reports of its removal from the platform.

Reports of YouTube TV subscribers wanting MLB Network back despite its removal
There are differing opinions among users regarding the future of MLB Network on YouTube TV. Some are of the view that YouTube and the network will collaborate to find a mutually beneficial solution, while others believe that YouTube will eventually make a new deal with the network.
Despite the mixed opinions, one user has expressed confidence in the future of YouTube TV. However, it is worth mentioning that YouTube has not made any official announcement about bringing back MLB Network on the platform.
A user posted: “Yttv had me exited with the whole Sunday ticket thing but now that they dropped MLB network I’m not sure. Do you think it will make its return in time for the season?”
In a Tweet, YouTube support expressed disappointment at the inability to reach an agreement to continue carrying the network on YouTube TV.
we understand how frustrating this news must be & this isn't the outcome that we wanted. we'll continue conversations w/ the MLB Network in the hope of restoring their content on YouTube TV in the future

However, many people were not happy with the news.
@TeamYouTube This isn't good enough. MLB Network is an essential channel for baseball fans. It's not that hard to understand that differs from select network games.

Based on the testimony of a Redditor, it appears that YouTube TV will no longer be offering MLB Network.
Possible alternatives for the channel
As an alternative to watching MLB Network on YouTube TV, a Reddit user has suggested subscribing to a local cable provider on a monthly basis.
Additionally, they recommended SiriusXM‘s streaming and satellite radio services as a more affordable option compared to other streaming services. Although they acknowledged that these alternatives may not offer the same level of convenience as YouTube TV did for some subscribers.
Ultimately, the decision to switch to a different service or wait for YouTube and MLB Network to resolve their differences will depend on individual preferences and priorities.
We hope that a solution is found soon.
