They meant that Netflix got the rights to stream in Japan.

Just as it started to become a fan favorite, MLB killed the WBC.

Never had Apple TV cause log in issues with the servers overloading. Ever watch a big sporting event on Netflix live? It’s not pretty.

A lot of people seem to be misinterpreting this post: they're only streaming on Netflix in Japan. The WBC itself is not in Japan. This news means nothing for non-Japanese WBC viewers.
