Orioles-controlled MASN TV network must pay millions to Washington Nationals under sealed decision

The Orioles-controlled Mid-Atlantic Sports Network must pay the Washington Nationals tens of millions of dollars more in broadcast rights fees from previous years — a hit to the Baltimore team — under an arbitration panel’s sealed ruling, according to sources familiar with the document.

The long-awaited Major League Baseball committee decision awards the Nationals nearly $100 million — about $20 million a year — in additional fees for 2012 through 2016, said the sources, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the document has not been made public.
