This week, NYP TV Sports’ Andrew Marchand spoke with baseball Commissioner Bud Selig. Selig, 72, just oversaw baseball’s completion of its new TV deals with Fox, TBS and ESPN that, in total, are worth more than $3 billion.

Q: How do you feel about your new TV deals?

A: I’m very pleased. A year ago, I had a certain amount of trepidation. We were entering a new market and the TV landscape, like other things in life, is changing dramatically.

While I’m very confident that our sport has never been more popular, I want to tell you something: Both from an economic standpoint and the people who we are positioned with, I feel really good.

Q: When you were first approached about putting an LCS entirely on cable, was there hesitation or did you think this is the way the TV world is now?

A: I said to myself from all the concerns I had about cable a decade ago, maybe even five years ago, that this is a new world. [TBS] is in an enormous amount of households. I have no concerns about that today. Yes, years ago, but no today.

Q: One of the things I reported on this week was that MLB spoke with the NFL about putting an LCS on the NFL Network. Did you think, “We can’t do this because we don’t want to be aligned with them,” or did you say, “Maybe this will work?” A: The one thing I always encourage our people to do, and I do, is you think of all your options. Certainly, there was no option that we didn’t seriously consider. In the end, we did what we thought was in the best interest of this sport.

Q: There has been talk of adding another wild card to expand the playoffs. Did that ever come up in your TV negotiations? Is it still a possibility?

A: That was not brought up in the TV negotiations. Two years ago, when I had the Commissioner’s Initiative, I would have thought that was possible. Today, we have just broken attendance records for the third straight year with stunning numbers, and there is an old line in life, “If ain’t broke, don’t fix it.” I don’t see us, at this point in time, adding any playoff games.

Q: In terms of your TV ratings, how important is it for you to have big markets in the World Series?

A: One of the things I’ve tried to do is increase parity because parity helps the sport. I think frankly that is why we are doing as well as we are doing. You just can’t worry about that.
