I think it's too late this season BUT going forward, if you have TMobile, they have given away MLB.tv for free for like the last 8 seasons.
It's how I watch my Braves down in New Orleans.

MLB.tv is useless if you live in market. The local games are blacked out there too.

That would be blacked out here.

It’s absolutely insane we live in a timeline where paying customers can’t watch a team because two companies can’t reach a mutually acceptable agreement.
Then the last minute revelation of it is just asinine

Wrong I use a VPN every night and watch the Brave sin Market as I have YouTubeTV.
I got my free mlb.tv from t-mobile by getting on reddit hitting the t-mobile sub and paying a user for a code. I then use NordVPN and watch all the games. Been doing this for the last 3 years with zero issues.

I'm operating under the assumption that most people don't use VPNs. That obviously makes a difference. The point is it shouldn't require jumping through hoops to watch the local team's game.

So I cut the cord last year and went with Fubo because it offered the regional sports networks, and advertises itself as having all the sports. And it does, to include things I didn't think would have enough demand to have a dedicated channel like Cornhole and LAX.
All was well until the playoffs last year. Fubo did not have TBS. Ended up having bum a buddy's Hulu subscription to watch the series vs. Philadelphia.

Exactly. Going through all that bullshite just to be able to watch Braves games is absurd.
I'm probably going to swtich to Fubo since it's month to month vs Directv, which is two years. The Braves were pretty much the only thing keeping me with Comcast cable since the Braves are probably 50% of what I watch on TV anyway. There are a handful of channels(TBS and TNT being the main two) that I'd like to have, but that's not a total dealbreaker to move away. I can move to Youtube tv by the time the playoffs come so I can watch TBS playoff games, then be able to figure out what they'll do next year by that time.
I was going to give it a few weeks, because in the past, these things happen and they go public like this and they usually get resolved. It sounds like that's probably not going to happen.

Does mlb.tv not work if you live in one of the team's markets? I've thought about taking the plunge but don't wanna pay for it if I can't get home games

Nope. It's so incredibly stupid. MLB harps on wanting to draw younger fans and yet they allow their teams to sign TV contracts with these asinine blackout policies.

I finally made the move to fubo.
Comcast is actually directing people to fubo for 30% off the first two months. That's wild. I'm guessing they're trying to keep people from going to Directtv for 2 years, even though there is a streaming option for that that's month to month. Or maybe they have some sort of stake in fubo. Who knows, but I never thought I'd see the day a cable company is pushing people toward streaming with a discount.
They also gave me Gigabit+ for $15 less a month than what I'm paying now for one year.

I wonder how many people are fans from TBS. I’m sure it’s been a steady decline.

Comcast and bankrupt Diamond Sports Group have returned to the negotiating table, two and a half months after the latter’s Bally Sports regional sports networks were pulled off the pay TV operator’s Xfinity TV programming grid in a carriage dispute. The 15 Bally Sports channels carried by Comcast were removed at the end of April, with Diamond Sports unwilling to cede to the cable company’s demand that its RSNs be moved to the more-expensive “Xfinity Ultimate” tier.
