Are Tampa Bay Rays games blacked out in New York?
Tampa Bay Rays games are not typically blacked out in New York due to local market restrictions for the Rays themselves. However, MLB.tv and other services enforce blackout rules based on your geographic location for games that are broadcast nationally or are considered 'in-market' for the New York Yankees or Mets. This means if the Rays are playing the Yankees or Mets, or if it's a national broadcast available on a local channel, the game might be blacked out on MLB.tv in New York. GridCast helps clarify these situations.
