Baseball is a dying sport. The main audience is increasingly getting older because the sport doesn't connect with newer generations. It's also mainly only relevant in the US. I think it's selling for as much as it can. So I doubt the license is all that pricey because of all that.

You could be right. But between licensing and advertising, its hard to imagine its "very profitable." Look at UFC games for example, that's bi-annual with stronger sales and instead opts for roster updates.

As I also mentioned before the PS3 sales took a nosedive while the Vita is no longer supported.

I feel a company like EA or 2K would love to take it off their hands and put it on 3 or 4 platforms.

Not sure why that matters with how well it's performing on the PS4..

EA and 2K are free to make a deal with the MLB (Sony doesn't have an exclusivity deal). And 2K did in 2013 but it lead to a poor game with poor sales. They didn't renew the contract but they could if they wanted. There's just not enough potential for high sales.
