Major League Baseball has made a number of changes over time to improve spectator experience and make the sport more economically sustainable.
The introduction of in-game interviews by MLB during nationally broadcast games last season received overwhelmingly good responses. Instead of chatting to athletes on a rest day, there are interviews with players when they're taking part in a game.
In-game bits that are mic'd up allow fans to get a glimpse of the personalities of their favorite performers. Players were cautious and worried that these interviews would have an impact on their performance when this update was introduced in 2017. MLB began to reward these in-game interviews as a consequence. and the trend is set to continue.
The players are paid $1,000 per minute as of 2023, according to Andrew Marchand of the New York Post. As these portions last for around ten minutes, Judge earned up to $10,000 per in-game interview.
The payments are drawn from the specified joint funds shared by MLB and the union. It's important to note that while the interviews are brief, athletes are getting a fabulous deal.
