Sports Writer Wendy Thurm On Team Television Contracts

The Arizona Diamondbacks, who had the worst record in Major League Baseball in 2014 and are expected to continue down that path in the 2015 season, have agreed to a new television contract with Fox Sports.

Unofficial reports show the organization signing a 20-year deal worth at least $1.5 billion. But the Diamondbacks are not the only team that has agreed to a massive contract extension locally.

We talked about that trend with writer Wendy Thurm, who focuses on baseball and sports business. 

Steve Goldstein was a host at KJZZ from 1997 to 2022.
