This was definitely not the case last summer. I subscribed to the regional sports package and was able to get the YES network for Yankee games. I was able to watch every Yankee game that was on the YES network, with the Yankee announcers. The only time I was not able to get the YES network was when the Yankees played the Rays in which case it was blacked out from the YES network but still available with the Sun Sports network - albeit with the Rays announcers who are very boring.
But, I am concerned that you may be right going forward. Over Thanksgiving my son-in-law was here and wanted to watch the Bruins over the New England sports network. He was disappointed that they were blacked out. I'm hoping that they do not black out the Yankees this coming season.
Should that be the case, another alternative is to subscribe to the Internet streaming games over mlb.com. You can watch them on a computer, which is not so great, or you can buy a Roku box for under $100 which allows you to play them on your TV (as well as Netflix movies).
