These are the headlines you Need 2 Know. * **Police Arrest Man in Connection with Death Threats to Boston Globe:** Police arrested Robert Darrell Chain on Thursday for threatening to kill Boston Globe employees. He allegedly made a dozen calls to the paper after it released a national campaign denouncing President Trump's political attacks against the press. During the calls, Chain borrowed Trump's rhetoric, calling reporters "the enemy of the people." After he made bail later in the day on Thursday, Chain reportedly said, “America was saved when Donald J. Trump was elected.” Here’s a [transcript of one of the calls](https://twitter.com/Tom_Winter/status/1035167781635981314?s=20). * **Kaepernick's Case Will Go to Trial:** Former quarterback Colin Kaepernick’s collusion grievance against the NFL will go to trial after the league's request to dismiss his case was denied.

MLB on Partnering With Apple TV+ to Stream Friday Night Doubleheaders
Baseball is as American as — Apple TV+. The National Pasttime has a new media partner this season, as the MLB will be streaming Friday night doubleheaders on the Apple streaming service. Noah Garden, the league's chief revenue officer, spoke to Cheddar News to break down the details of what's being offered in the new package and why Major League Baseball felt the need to make the move this year. "We've been in a situation where we've lost reach, even within the cable bundle. There are situations where people in the local market don't have access to watch their favorite team and their local team on top of that," he said. "You have cord cutters and even probably more importantly, cord nevers. So streaming offers of some ability to gain reach that we've lost over the the last couple of years, and Apple was really the perfect partner for us."

Sean Green, the co-founder of the Sports Gambling Podcast Network, joined Cheddar to give his take on the possible final game of legendary Duke coach, Mike Krzyzewski. "Now, if you recall, UNC actually beat Duke in Coach K's final home regular-season game, so revenge is going to be on the mind of Duke in this Final Four game, and I think they have the best of UNC.
