NFL and NBA seem to be running away with media air time. Obviously, NFL is in-season, but NBA is in an offseason with a stupid tournament and is getting more press time than an exciting last few weeks in baseball.
Baseball needs some new stars. I thought Bryce Harper was that guy but he's just a douche and unlikable. Needs to find a way to connect in this celebrity athlete generation.
ESPN pushes stupid shite. What can I tell you? They are trying to tap an "international" market by broadcasting the FIBA tournament that no one gives a shite about. But what do I know? I've stopped watching all sports except college football and the occasional MLB game when the Cardinals are actually on national TV and not a regional provider (which is actually why you perceive that the MLB is not getting more press time--regional providers are airing the games and ESPN doesn't want to cover shite from other networks as much).

I grew up on baseball. My dad became a Yankees fan when he lived in NYC after getting his MBA and working on Wall Street. My mother is originally from the East Coast. I love the postseason but whenever I turn on ESPN it's only NFL, CFB or NBA. Dunks, Big hits, Big TD runs.
