They just have to contact the entity that owns the Trademark (in the example, it’s MLB) and negotiate a licensing deal. The cost will depend on the specifics.

If it’s a merch-maker they’ll probably agree to taking a percentage of the profits generated by the merchandise.

If it’s a film or tv show, they may not demand any payment at all since it can be seen as free advertising.

It just depends on what exactly it’s for.
