List of current Major League Baseball broadcasters

The following a list of current (entering the 2012 season) Major League Baseball broadcasters for each individual team. Some franchises have a regular color commentator while others (such as the Milwaukee Brewers) use two play-by-play men, with the primary often doing more innings than the second man.

10. ^ Comcast SportsNet Houston will become the exclusive home of the Houston Astros beginning in the 2013 season. [39]
11. ^ On June 20, 2011, MLB Commissioner Bud Selig rejected a contract extension between the Los Angeles Dodgers and Prime Ticket. The team's future cable home is uncertain. [40]
12. ^ The TV deal between the San Diego Padres and 4SD expired after the 2011 season. The team is reportedly in talks with FSN, which has offered a much larger amount than 4SD.
