The NFL had to sue Comcast over a similar product and the case is still tied up in court. And the NFL draws much better than MLB.

Carriage
The network has signed contracts with 36 cable and satellite carriers.[5] In a deal that may be copied by other sports league owned channels, MLB tied carriage of the MLB Network to the ability to carry the popular out of market MLB Extra Innings package. In return, cable and satellite providers were offered a minority share of the new network.
