Facebook in talks to live stream MLB games

Live Major League Baseball games could be coming to Facebook. According to Reuters, Facebook Inc. is in talks with MLB to live stream one game per week during the upcoming season, which could be a key win as the social media platform works to offer more live sports. For social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter, live streaming sports is key to attracting people since sports is one of the few types of content that people still watch live. "Facebook is aggressively going after sports content and they are now one of a number of competitors to traditional media outlets that are going after sports programming," said sports media consultant Lee Berke.
