MASN court case: Judge rules in favor of Orioles, against Nationals, but it might not mean anything

Nearly six months after the trial hearing, and three years after the dispute began between MASN and the Nationals, the verdict is in on the court case involving tens of millions of dollars of rights fees. The thirty-page decision provides the immediate conclusion that the court has thrown out the ruling made by baseball's panel - a victory for the Orioles - but offers no other resolution to the case.

You can read in more length about the circumstances behind the case in an article I wrote last year. The very short version is that the Orioles and Nationals ended up in front of a baseball-controlled panel that acts as the arbitrator when there are conflicts between teams of this nature.
