Michael Kay, former YES baseball host, has expressed disappointment that Netflix has taken away the Yankees' Opening Day from YES, stating that it "sucks" as it will be streamed exclusively on Netflix for a primetime primetime season opener on March 25. The decision comes after Netflix signed a multi-year streaming rights deal with MLB, which includes exclusive live broadcasts of select events, including the Opening Day primetime game. Kay expressed his displeasure at the decision, noting that the middle game will be a Fox game and that the third game is a separate broadcast.
