It's available for purchase.

I bought a partial season Premium package last year during their Father's Day special. You can watch on computer, TV through apps and mobile devices (tablet/cell).

Premium is $129.99 and regular is $109.99 (I think only works with computer or web-enabled TVs)

I bought it to watch Indians games and West Coast baseball. I also like carrying games watching on my tablet. But I found out if you subscribe to a VPN service you can watch Cubs/Sox. Watching sports on my tablet has become my preferred way to consume.

A great deal if you're a cord cutter.

Sounds great. Just make sure to PM the password by the 2nd week of spring training games.

Oh, you also get MLB audio included. Very key for listening games at the office. Radio is where you get the real guys in Tom Hamilton (Indians), Uecker!, Jon Miller and SHARK!'s guy Dave Wills.

unfortunately, you are given the option to to listen to farmer/dj or mike shannon as well.

A better deal if you share it across 5 people as you can have 5 concurrent connections at once. I've split the cost 5 ways for years.

They only check the IP on login. so if you enable a proxy, you can disable it after your blacked-out game of choice is already running

So how does that work with the blackouts?

It doesn't, still blacked out by your location, but my idevices are all jailbroken so I can screw with my location and get local games.

Blackouts are in court though.
