Amazon has held talks with a number of sports leagues including the NFL, NBA, MLB, and MLS as it explores the possibility of incorporating live sports with Prime, according to a report from The Wall Street Journal.

In talks with the leagues, Amazon has reportedly broached the idea of an exclusive sports package that could be sold alongside its Prime subscription, which could help attract new customers to the $99 a year service.

All of the major sports leagues have deals with cable or satellite networks that run for yearsWhether or not it will be able to actually land the major sports leagues is another question.
