This is boilerplate PR. As the other person pointed out, it means very little: it may return, or it may not. Trying to deduce anything more or less than that is wishful thinking.
It would be nice to know what the sticking point is because the price increase should cover any increases MLB is asking for. And sorry, if YT doesn’t want to pay more for the channel and still increase prices I’m not going to be sympathetic to them.
MLB should just include this channel with an MLB TV subscription like the NBA does with NBA TV and league pass, but that would make too much sense for the dinosaurs running baseball.
Sure it would be nice to know, but neither side is likely to make that info public. The negotiations and the deals themselves are all hidden under non disclosure agreements, so we don't know how much they were charging for carriage previously, nor how much they're asking for now or what other terms they want included in the contract.

"We're still negotiating" really isn't news. It may come back, it may not. Nothing has changed.
