Wrong addressee, incoming iCloud e-mail
I receive incoming i-cloud e-mail in the correct in-box, but the addressee on the e-mail shows a name that is not mine; it shows "MLB.TV"

Do you have your iCloud and MLB accounts both added in Apple Mail? Are you sure that you are not accidentally sending emails from your MLB account (you can usually set a default "send" account but also manually choose - and the default can be set to "last account used", too).
I have iCloud and Outlook both in my Apple Mail and, yes, have been known to send email from the wrong one from time to time.
Not spam. The content of the incoming e-mail is legitimate. The issue is this: the incoming e-mail is usually a response to one of mine. The content is, as I said, OK (legitimate). However, the addressee on the incoming address line shows ...@MLB.TV (yes, Major League Baseball) rather than ...@icloud.com. I have a totally separate account (subscription) with MLB.TV that functions as intended, so it seems that somehow that address has migrated to my icloud account/address.
iCloud is in Apple mail; MLB.TV is NOT in Apple mail. The problem only occurs with respect to incoming messages addressed to my iCloud e-mail wherein the addressee reads MLB.TV. I just discovered a bizarre situation when I tried to print one of the incoming messages with the errant addressee; the header format changed, and the addressee read correctly, ...@icloud. I took a screen shot to document the wrong addressee. To be sure I wasn't using an improper procedure, I repeated the exercize three times with different incoming messages, all of which had the MLB.TV addressee (documented by screen shot), but when printed, showed ...@icloud, with no evidence of MLB.TV at all.
OK then, your issue has exceeded my knowledge of Mail. The only other thing I could possibly think of is...since you do have a MLB.TV email, could it be auto-forwarding emails - maybe there's a rule on the MLB.TV mail server side? If not, I'm going to have to tap out on this one.
Possibly a spam email - I assume mlb.tv is meant to stand for "major league baseball" and make you assume you are part of a mailing list that hides the individual addresses on the list.
