Also, the settlement allows fans to watch the visiting team’s television feed when they play “in-market” teams, as long as that fan is an authorized cable subscriber to the Regional Sports Network that carries the “in-market” team’s games. That option, which would be a first across all major professional sporting leagues, will be available by July for an extra $10 and will be a breakthrough to current blackouts.

I read that as a no, unless you pay for your local network in which case you can see those games for an extra 10$.
I don't think any of this affects me as I get MLB.TV later in the year at a discount if I get it at all and I'm not in any blacked out market, but for those who do get it from the start or are in a blacked out market I think this may be huge.
