Why Friday's Blue Jays/Cubs Game Is Radio Only

You won't be seeing the Friday afternoon game on Sportsnet because it's been designated solely for AppleTV+ subscribers as part of the streamer's ongoing deal with MLB.

Not that you're missing much, given the Jays' performance this year, but it's the first time the Toronto team has played in Wrigley Field in more than half a decade, making it something of a milestone. This is the last game of the season that the Jays will be off Sportsnet, but there are bound to be more next year as the deal stays in place.

The Jays have had a bad year but they just finished a sweep of the LA Angels and are .583 so far in August. If only May, June and July weren’t such dumpster fires.
