- Market heavily during spring training
- Release the game on/around opening day
- Market during the week of the MLB draft. Offer a discount during this time.
- Market during the week of the trade deadline. Offer a bigger discount during this time to rope any holdout customers and maybe get them in for next season
- rinse/repeat
I would also add the playoffs/World Series to the timeline. A lot of fans renew their interest at that time of year.
