La Velle E. Neal III on Joe Mauer; Rob Manfred wants to have it both ways with MLB and TV

Introduction: Host Michael Rand was not impressed with MLB
Commissioner Rob Manfred's comments Tuesday about where things
stand with the league's TV situation. By telling teams it is up to
them to decide whether to either sign up to be distributed and
produced by MLB or continue with the regional sports network model,
MLB is admitting it doesn't yet have a viable product or solution.
If the landscape really won't be sorted out until a new national
contract is negotiated in 2028, that's a long time to wait. 9:00:
Star Tribune columnist La Velle E. Neal III joins Rand ahead of Joe
Mauer's induction into the Baseball Hall of Fame this weekend in
Cooperstown, N.Y. Neal shares some Mauer stories and insights,
while he and Rand also get into this year's Twins and Vikings
receiver Jordan Addison. 36:00: It is a great day to be a Star
Tribune subscriber.
