MLB.TV will offer a single-team streaming option in 2016, [according to Fangraphs.com.](http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/instagraphs/mlb-to-offer-single-team-mlb-tv-purchase-option-for-2016/)

A court filing in the _Garber v. Office of the Commissioner of Baseball_ lawsuit, which contests some of Major League Baseball’s broadcasting practices under antitrust law, indicates that changes are in the works.

Page nine of the document, [which can be viewed here](https://www.scribd.com/embeds/294105390/content?start%5Fpage=9&view%5Fmode=scroll&access%5Fkey=key-nz9FbugUoHRqZdwxO1oZ&show%5Frecommendations=true), reads that “beginning next season MLB will make single-team, out-of-market streams available for purchase (alongside the out-of-market package) on MLB.TV.”

It is unclear exactly in what capacity the single-team option will function, but after offering only one streaming option that includes all 30 teams’ out-of-market games for one price, it would make sense to think MLB would follow the NBA and NHL in creating a viewing package centered on one team’s games for an entire season. The NBA this season introduced a single-game purchase option, which is also a conceivable addition to MLB’s offerings.

Pricing details have also yet to be revealed. A subscription last season cost $130 for all 30 teams, or $25 per month, allowing for streaming on the MLB.TV website or through the league’s MLB At Bat app.
