Actually, changing providers has worked for me for several years. Certainly, there's always the risk that my current TV provider will also have a contract dispute; I'm in that situation right now, having switched from YouTubeTV to DirecTV for baseball season, and tonight ESPN went dark before the first pitch of the Braves/Phillies game. I'd love a permanent solution of some kind, but a short-term one can work for a surprisingly long time. And to my knowledge, Fubo is not in a contract dispute with Disney. If you've heard otherwise, please post, because my DirecTV bill drops in a little less than 48 hours, and I'll make a decision soon.
@holtlk45 Unfortunately, who knows how long this dispute will be. If you cannot live without baseball, you will likely switch. Spectrum went through the same dispute not long ago and they were without channels for a week or two if you can get a free trial of a service that might be the best way to go temporarily.
You will not find one immune to this. Disney owns the networks so it is their decision to pull the feed. They can do that with any provider. So cancelling doesn't save you.
And this is a public forum, mostly other customers. We cannot get a deal worked out any more than you.
There is no permanent solution. Nothing guarantees these channels to anybody. Pretty much you'll find a negotiation around the corner every month. Just changes on if it is a channel that matters to you personally or not.

All TV providers have this problem so changing is a short term solution.
