Baseball has a popularity problem because it has put all its egg in paid platforms. I can see at least some if not all NFL, NBA, NHL, and college sports on broadcast tv. I can see more Premier League football than MLB on broadcast tv. A friend with a small local bar says MASN wants $60 a month to let her show the games, which she can't budget for, although she always has some game or race or competition on the set it's never baseball.
People aren't going to care about a sport that isn't readily available. Not everyone has or even wants cable. MLB has shot itself in the foot and they are so stupid they can't figure out that even one game a week would mean maybe children would grow up caring about baseball. Instead, young adults have no reason to spend hundreds of dollars on tickets and food for their family just to watch a game they aren't very familiar with.
