TV contracts are not free money. CSN Houston, because of low ratings and major distributors not carrying it, is struggling mightily, and the Astros, as 45 percent owners of the channel, bear the brunt. With RSNs shifting the risk and the reward onto the teams themselves, the Astros have a concrete incentive to field a watchable team as soon as possible.
