Indeed, Yahoo Sports today announced that it will launch a site for fans of the New York Mets called the Queens Baseball Club on March 28, Opening Day of the baseball season. Unlike other Yahoo sites, however, Queens Baseball Club, which will offer exclusive editorial content and fan experiences, won’t be free. “Yahoo Sports is focused on creating the ultimate experience for active and passionate fans,” according to a company statement. “Over the course of the year, Yahoo Sports plans to announce around a dozen similar partnerships with other professional sports teams and more into 2020.”Whether Mets fans will flock to Queens Baseball is hard to say. Given the competitive New York media market, there is no shortage of content on the hapless team, which last made the playoffs in 2015.
