CBS Tries to Revise Baseball Pact: CBS Sports, which may have lost up to $100 million in the first year of its Major League Baseball pact, has asked baseball for some of its money back. CBS Inc. said last month that it expected losses in 1990’s fourth quarter, largely because of its $1.06-billion, four-year deal, and now the network apparently wants Major League Baseball to help share the load. Published reports have also said that if baseball is not willing to give CBS a rebate, the network wants more games. CBS showed only 16 regular-season games in its first year of the deal, while ESPN, which paid baseball $400 million for four years, showed 161.
