TV Answer Man, hey do you know when we have to redeem the T-Mobile offer for the free MLB TV service? I can’t find it anywhere – Getting worried, Boston.

MLB TV, the league’s streaming package of out-of-market games, is available this year for $149.99 for the entire season or $29.99 a month. However, T-Mobile, the wireless service, again has provided the plan for free to customers with its T-Mobile and Metro by T-Mobile plans.

I’m glad you asked me when the offer expires because it’s not available all season despite what some think. In fact, today is the last full day that you can redeem the deal. It will expire tomorrow morning (March 31) at 4:59 a.m. ET. After that, the deal is done so if you haven’t redeemed it yet – and you like baseball even a little – get moving!
