Washington Nationals take legal action to get $320M in TV rights fees from MASN

Just… end this partnership already.
so this is why the orioles haven’t done shit…
Can the Nats be done with MASN completely so we can just get games off MLB TV? That’d be a perfect outcome imo
Wasn’t this allegedly one of the goals of Rubenstein, to get this resolved?
I suspect the Lerners are still holding off selling the team until this is worked out (and maybe after the Twins sell).
Good luck
Can’t wait for MASN to go under
Orioles still a poverty franchise. I thought getting new ownership was meant to fix that.
So the new owners in Baltimore are maintaining the scumbag tradition. Good to know
Are we still doing this?
Os don’t have the money to pay. So they’ll return the TV rights back to the Nationals. Problem solved.
Just pay the nationals according to the deal that the parties signed. They are owed the $320m. This doesn’t seem that hard.
No reason this should even still be in place. The MLB screwed up by ever letting this stipulation exist. The Os have acted in bad faith since the beginning, all because they want to cry about being a poverty franchise, and claiming entitlement to a market that they have no claim to.
Meanwhile the Nats pay into revenue sharing, despite never actually making the TV money that big markets make. Such a joke
When will the brutality end?
I’m pretty sure the Orioles would trade MASN for draft picks …
As they should.
I really just want both teams to leave that shitass network because we both deserve better
Fuck it. Settle it in Smash.
The title in this article seems to be a bit clickbaity – there’s no indication that the Orioles are going to contest the RSDC judgement, only that the Nationals want it affirmed in court. After the initial issues with the RSDC arbitration were ironed out it seems like they resolved the issues with the subsequent renegotiation relatively quickly, so I think it’s a bit early to roast MASN/Orioles over this filing.
Give the Nationals every dime they’re owed.
Provided they fire Bob Carpenter.
get that bag
Evergreen story. O’s cheating Nats. Since day one of the Nats post-Expos existence.
I am so over having to use the shitty MASN app to watch games, they need to get out of there ASAP.
