Now in his second offseason without baseball to worry about, former Boston Red Sox star David Ortiz is looking for something to do. Reality television seems like a reasonable avenue for the always sociable Ortiz, who stars in the new series, “Big Papi Needs a Job.” If you couldn’t figure it out from the title, it’s about Big Papi looking for a job.

Airing on Fusion, the series premieres on Wednesday, January 31, at 8 p.m. ET. If you don’t have cable or don’t have a cable subscription that includes Fusion, you can either watch a live stream of episodes live as they air, or you can watch episodes on-demand, by signing up for one of the following cable-free, live-TV streaming services: FuboTV, DirecTV Now or Sling TV.

All of them cost a monthly fee, but they also all come with free trials, allowing you to see what service best fits your streaming needs. Here’s everything you need to know about what these services provide, and how to sign up to watch “Big Papi Needs a Job”:

Fubo TV

Though it originally started as a streaming service aimed at international sports fans, Fubo TV has grown into a major contender among the OTT streaming companies, as it now includes a handful of both sports and entertainment channels, including Fusion. Moreover, it has the lowest price point among all services, as it normally costs $39.99 per month but is being offered at $19.99 for the first two months. Considering that package includes 70-plus channels, that’s by far the best deal in terms of most channels for your dollar. Here’s everything you need to know about Fubo TV:

Sling TV

The first to dive in to the cable-free, live-TV streaming service, Sling TV remains the lowest price point if you’re planning on keeping a service for the long term. The downside is that you won’t get as many channels as the other streaming services unless you include a bunch of add-ons, but if you’re looking to keep things basic, the Sling Orange base package plus News Extra add-on will get you Fusion and will cost a total of $25 per month. Here’s everything you need to know:
