Make Plays Media has announced that its Foul Territory Network will be adding two new shows focused on the San Diego Padres and Boston Red Sox. The digital programs, titled Friar Territory and Monster Territory, respectively, join the network and provide local fanbases coverage surrounding their favorite teams. Former Padres beat reporter Kyle Glaser will be hosting Friar Territory and will be frequently joined by former players Mike Cameron and Heath Bell as they talk about matters salient to the Padres. Cameron and Bell are both former All-Star players who helped the Padres to success during their playing careers.
“Mike, Heath and I are thrilled to be part of the Foul Territory network,” Glaser said in a statement. “The Padres have been one of the most compelling teams in baseball over the last few years, and we look forward to bringing unique insights and perspectives about the club on Friar Territory.”
Over the last year, the Foul Territory Network has continued offering its national programs, such as the flagship Foul Territory with Scott Braun, A.J. Pierzynski, Erik Kratz and various other contributors, while also expanding overall local content presence. The entity has 11 podcasts focused on MLB teams, some of which include the Los Angeles Dodgers, New York Yankees and Chicago Cubs. As the Red Sox-focused Monster Territory enters the portfolio, Robbie Hyde will be behind the microphone alongside Red Sox personalities that will be announced at a later date.
“I couldn’t be more excited to be joining the FT Network to talk about the team that I’ve loved since I was a kid, the Boston Red Sox,” Hyde said in a statement. “It really is a dream come true! The fan base is truly one of the most passionate in all of baseball, and it’s an honor to be able to represent Red Sox Nation in this capacity.”
Make Plays Media recently live streamed the 100th Centennial New York Baseball Writers’ Dinner where the Baseball Writers’ Association of America bestowed league and local honors to figures around the game. Last summer, the company agreed to a linear and streaming partnership with now-Main Street Sports Group regional sports networks to air episodes of Foul Territory live on the platforms. Since the conclusion of the regular season, Make Plays Media has added shows surrounding the Detroit Tigers, St. Louis Cardinals and Houston Astros in addition to the aforementioned.
